Michael Jackson allegedly spent $35 million to at least two dozen young boys he abused over 15 years.

According to Sunday People, which has published explosive “secret FBI files” suggesting Michael Jackson molested children from at least 1989, despite his insistence he was just spending time with them.

The damning files claim Michael Jackson assaulted a boy, molested a famous child star and groped another child whose mother wasn’t “bothered” by it.

Jackson family lawyers have to date insisted the King of Pop has only paid off the family of Jordan Chandler, 13, who he allegedly abused in 1993.

However, a sleuth hired by Anthony Pellicano – a celebrity private eye Michael Jackson allegedly hired to make the claims go away – has claimed the star was a “serial child predator” who paid out scores of children he allegedly abused at his Neverland Ranch.

Sunday People says it has evidence to back the investigators claims.

When Anthony Pellicano was investigated in 2002 for bugging Hollywood stars, the FBI seized his files, including many about Michael Jackson.

These included case files CADCE MJ-02463 and CR 01046 which Sunday People claims it has access to.

The files were allegedly not passed on to prosecutors in Michael Jackson’s controversial 2005 molestation trial.

The shocking revelations come after Michael Jackson’s daughter, 15-year-old Paris, recently tried to kill herself.

In further scandal, his family is also trying to sue gig promoter AEG Live who they claim hired Dr. Conrad Murray who prescribed Michael Jackson his last fatal drug dose.

AEG Live denies hiring Conrad Murray, who is currently serving a four-year jail term for involuntary manslaughter.

The investigator, who spoke to Sunday People on the condition of anonymity, said he decided to finally come forward after Michael Jackson’s former child friend Wade Robson revealed he was abused by the star.

Australian-born Wade Robson, a dancer and choreographer, recently launched a major lawsuit against the Jackson estate, saying he was regularly molested at Neverland in the 1990s.

Sunday People claims it has seen files confirming Robson’s claims.

While Anthony Pellicano is now in jail for racketeering and wire-tapping, his investigator told Sunday People he was hired to help dig the dirt on Michael Jackson and make potential problems disappear.

The investigator said he kept copies of FBI documents naming 17 boys – including five child actors and two dancers – Michael Jackson targeted for abuse.

These included a European boy and the sons of a screenwriter.

The sleuth said at least three boys were paid to stay silent, with the family of a famous film actor given about $596,300 not to talk to the media.

He said a Neverland maid was allegedly paid $2 million after accusing her boss of molesting her son, while another woman who knew her son was being assaulted “turned a blind eye to it because if it didn’t bother him, it didn’t bother her”.

The files on the alleged victims were reportedly compiled when lawyers drew up a list of “potential threats” to Michael Jackson’s image in the early 1990s, when he was on a world tour.

But after the father of Jordan Chandler publicly claimed his son had been abused, other similar accusations began flooding the media.

Jordan Chandler was paid a hefty sum to stay out of the limelight.

“His [Michael Jackson’s] actress friend Elizabeth Taylor encouraged him to hire Pellicano ­because she had used him to stop dirt on her drug problems being released in the media,” the investigator, who spent two years on the case, alleged.

“Pellicano had links to key figures in the US media and made them dance to his tune.

“With the help of people like Pellicano, the world and his fans never heard what took place at Neverland over 15 years.”

While Michael Jackson was found not guilty of abusing a 13-year-old boy in 2005, the private eye insists the boxes of evidence he helped to collect showed “Jackson was a serial child predator”.

The investigator said he didn’t come forward to upset Michael Jackson’s children, but to finally make public that authorities have shocking information on the dead star that has never been released.

However, long-time Michael Jackson lawyer and friend Brian Oxman said he thought only Jordan Chandler had been paid off, but admitted the “gift list on Michael’s income tax returns was astounding”.
