Michael Jackson's nude photos could be shared with the world after two men who claim he abused them as children sought to unseal court records.
Wade Robson, 41, and James Safechuck, 46, claim Jackson repeatedly raped them as young children in the 1980s and '90s at his Neverland ranch and elsewhere.
The pair failed in lawsuits against the singer's production companies, which since his 2009 death are owned by his estate, but the suits were revived last year.
As part of the case - which could go to trial as early as next year - they are seeking access to sealed police records from Jackson's 2005 pedophilia charges.
Lawyers for MJJ Productions and MJJ Ventures believe the real target is 'photographs of Michael Jackson's genitalia and naked body taken by police.'
Further details of what the photos show and when or why they were taken have not been shared.
Police investigating allegations of sexual assault will sometimes ask accusers for detailed descriptions of their alleged attacker's private parts and bodies.
Officers do so in a bid to uncover any unique physical features which may corroborate their claims.
It is also unclear why Jackson's estate believes Robinson and Safechuck are seeking to have the nude photographs shared with the world.
The motion to quash the four subpoenas, which was filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday, noted the images were sealed by a court-entered protective order, according to People Magazine.
'Beyond the invasion of privacy issues, the available records indicate the photographs [the] plaintiffs now seek are also subject to a strict protective order agreed to by Michael Jackson and Santa Barbara law enforcement and entered by the Santa Barbara Superior Court,' the motion read.
