Robson, June 2009In 2003, Michael Jackson was arrested on charges of child molestation. Starting from age seven, Robson was invited several times to Jackson's Neverland Ranch where several boys, including Robson and child actor Macaulay Culkin, would all sleep together in Jackson's bed. A member of Jackson's staff testified that she had seen Jackson behaving inappropriately towards Robson such as taking showers together. In November 2003, Robson publicly denied any wrongdoing on Jackson's part and he, along with his mother and sister, testified in Jackson's defense at the People v. Jackson trial in 2005. Jackson was eventually acquitted. In a 2003 interview, Robson said of Jackson "His heart is so genuine. He has no concept of a normal life." Robson and Jackson remained friends until Jackson's death in June 2009.
In August 2005, Robson married fashion designer, Amanda Rodriguez, in her native Maui, Hawaii. Since then, the couple have united their creative talents and collaborated on numerous stage, television, and film projects. In November 2010, the couple welcomed their first child, son Koa. They live in Los Angeles.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“A man lives not only his personal life, as an individual, but also, consciously or unconsciously, the life of his epoch and his contemporaries.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“There are nowadays professors of philosophy, but not philosophers. Yet it is admirable to profess because it was once admirable to live. To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust. It is to solve some of the problems of life, not only theoretically, but practically.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
