JAMES Safechuck lied about being abused at Neverland’s train station room because the structure was not built until 1994, a Michael Jackson biographer has claimed.

Safechuck, who alleges the Thriller singer molested him from 1988 until 1992, said he was raped in numerous rooms at Jacko’s Californian ranch.

But Jackson defender Mike Smallcombe has found alleged inconsistencies in the explosive allegations made in the documentary Leaving Neverland.

He says one of the rooms, in the property’s train station, was not built until two years after Safechuck claims the sex abuse stopped - when he was aged 14.

Speaking with the Mirror, Smallcombe said: “The deficiency in Safechuck’s story is this - construction on Neverland’s train station didn’t start until the latter part of 1993, and it didn’t open until the first part of 1994, when Safechuck was 16.

"So abuse in the train station wasn’t possible if the abuse stopped in 1992, as he claims in his testimony, as it didn't even exist then.

“There's a two year difference."

By the time Jackson was at Neverland and the train station was actually open, it was early 1995, three years after Safechuck said the abuse stopped Jackson biographer Mike Smallcombe

Jackson was touring his Dangerous album and was also in a rehab centre in London while the station was being built in 1993, Smallcombe says.

He also added that from February until December in 1994, the year the train station opened, Jackson was living in Trump Tower in New York while recording his HIStory record.

Smallcombe said: “The latter point is, by the time Jackson was at Neverland and the train station was actually open, it was early 1995, three years after Safechuck said the abuse stopped.

"And by then Safechuck was 17, and on the cusp of adulthood.”

In response to Smallcombe's revelations, Leaving Neverland director Dan Reed tweeted: "Yeah there seems to be no doubt about the station date. The date they have wrong is the end of the abuse."

Safechuck has repeatedly claimed, in both the documentary and court documents, that the alleged sex abuse stopped when he was 14.

Smallcombe also claims some of the testimony given by another Jackson accuser Wade Robson in the documentary can be disproved.

Speaking with the Mirror, he questions the Australian-born dancer’s account of being molested by the superstar in 1990 while his family visited the Grand Canyon.

Wade said he was left alone with Jackson for five days at the star’s Neverland Ranch in California.

But the youngster and his mother both defended Jackson while speaking to investigators in 1993 after 13-year-old Jordan Chandler accused the entertainer of sexual abuse.

Smallcombe claims it is this testimony that proves that Wade is not telling the truth.

He said: “His mother, Joy Robson, testified under oath in a deposition in 1993/1994 in relation to the Jordie Chandler case that Wade had actually gone with them on that trip to the Grand Canyon, before the entire family returned to Neverland for the second time the following weekend.

CHANGING STORIES

"Joy Robson had no reason to lie about this; she openly admitted that Wade stayed with Jackson alone on other occasions.”

Smallcombe added: “Her words in that deposition were, ‘We went to the ranch for the first weekend, and then we left and went to the Grand Canyon, and we toured. We came back to the ranch for the following weekend’.

“She was asked to elaborate on who had gone to the Grand Canyon, and she said ‘my family’. There was no mention of Wade staying behind.”

Jackson’s biographer then claims Joy said Wade had not stayed alone with Jackson at Neverland until 1993.

Wade Robson also testified in defence of Jackson during the Billy Jean songwriter’s 2005 trial in which he was cleared of molesting youngster Gavin Arviso.

In this court room testimony, the choreographer said that the only time he had stayed at Neverland without Joy was in either 1992 or 1993 along with other Jackson companions Macaulay Culkin and Chandler.

Smallcombe points out that Wade said that his sister had stayed in the same bed as him “the entire time” they were at Neverland the first time.

He says Joy corroborated that account when giving evidence in the same trial.

Smallcombe adds that Wade said he “did not know” whether his recollection of that night came from his own memory or if someone else had told him what happened.

Wade Robson alleges that Michael Jackson sexually abused him from the age of seven to 14.

Safechuck claims he was groomed and raped from age of 10 to 14 by the superstar.

Michael Jackson denied all allegations of sexual abuse made against him.

His estate has called the two-part documentary film "one-sided."
