The late King of Pop's French fans will take two alleged child abuse victims to court this week over the 'Leaving Neverland' documentary. FMTNews MichaelJackson

Michael Jackson, pictured at a news conference in 1996, faced major abuse allegations before his death.

Thursday’s hearing will take place at a court in the northern city of Orleans where the Michael Jackson Community, the MJ Street and On The Line groups will begin proceedings against the men they accuse of sullying the image of the late singer. The two-part film, which was released in March, broke streaming records and prompted the Jackson family to sue for US$100 million .

Under French law, sullying the image of a dead person is a criminal offence, unlike in Britain or America where libel and defamation laws do not offer this protection.Ludot had previously successfully sued Jackson’s doctor Conrad Murray for causing distress to his fans by giving the US pop legend the drugs that killed him.
