The Leaving Neverland documentary is shifting popular opinion on whether or not Michael Jackson sexually abused young boys.

His sister LaToya Jackson stuck her neck out back in the 1990s and broke away from her family to claim that she was "definitely" sure her brother was a paedophile.

Jackson's sister said she cannot, and will not, be a silent collaborator of her brother’s crimes against small, innocent children.

LaToya, now 62-years-old, admitted she had never seen her brother in bed with young boys but she had seen hush money cheques paid to the parents of children who he used to have sleep overs with for "very, very large sums".

LaToya also claimed in the interviews at the time that her brother's marriage to Lisa Marie Presley was a sham and was done to cover up the abuse claims.

Jackson's estate has denied wrongdoing and filed a $US100 million lawsuit against the makers of the documentary.
