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.

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.
