Allegations about Michael Jackson sexually assaulting children first surfaced in 1993, and now the issue has been raised again in a new documentary.

Leaving Neverland, which will air on Channel 4 this spring, was screened at the Sundance Festival and shocked audiences with its level of detail on the late singer's alleged behaviour.
