Michael Jackson detailed his thoughts on children in a never-before-heard audio clip | Michael Jackson

As Michael Jackson saw it, children would become fascinated by his personality and want to touch and hug him – and “sometimes it is.” [got] “You got me in trouble,” the late American pop star says in never-before-heard audio recordings included in a new documentary.

Wonderhood Studios in the UK has included recordings of Jackson expressing those thoughts in a new four-episode documentary series starting Wednesday that explores his acquittal on child sex abuse charges after a 14-week criminal trial near Los Angeles in 2005.

A trailer for Channel 4’s The Trial shows Jackson’s soft, high-pitched voice as he asserts: “The kids… just want to touch me and hug me.”

“Kids end up falling in love with my character — and sometimes that gets me in trouble,” Jackson also says in the clip, after an interviewee explains that some of the things revealed in the recordings in question “have no precedent.”

The New York Post on Saturday reported another particularly troubling observation: that those recordings captured Jackson’s making.

“If you told me right now…‘Michael, you will never get to see another child,’…I would kill myself,” Jackson allegedly said in the recordings, according to the Washington Post.

Wonderhood Studios’ website says the trial aims to move beyond the “media circus” surrounding Jackson’s acquittal to ask “deep questions about fame, race, and the American justice system.”

Before his acquittal, Jackson was accused of molesting a boy, providing alcohol to a child, poisoning a minor for abuse, and planning to keep a juvenile and his family captive at the 13-time Grammy Award winner’s Neverland Ranch in California.

The accusations stem from a UK television documentary called “Live with Michael Jackson” that aired in February 2003.

In a March 2005 interview, Jackson said the charges were the lowest point in his life – and were brought against him as part of an elaborate scheme to discredit him.

Jackson also said in that interview: “I’m completely innocent.” “Please know that there are a lot of conspiracies going on as we speak.”

A jury found Jackson not guilty on all charges on June 13, 2005 in a courtroom in Santa Maria, California.

Four years and two weeks later, Jackson died of what authorities described as “acute poisoning” with the powerful anesthetic propofol. He was 50 years old.

His personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, was later convicted of giving Jackson a fatal dose of propofol while the singer was preparing for a series of comeback concerts. Murray was found guilty of manslaughter and spent nearly two years in prison.
