London (CNN) A statue of Michael Jackson has been removed from Britain's National Football Museum in the wake of fresh allegations of sexual abuse that continue to surround the pop superstar's legacy. The soccer museum in Manchester, England, has displayed the statue since 2014 but removed it from display this week. "As part of our ongoing plans to better represent the stories we want to tell, we have made a decision to remove the Michael Jackson statue from display." The film details disturbing claims that Jackson groomed and molested Robson and Safechuck for several years. In 2003, Jackson was charged with seven counts of child molestation for allegations from a cancer-stricken boy invited to the star's home.
