Michael Jackson, despite his sky-reaching popularity, had faced damning allegations that he liked children.

Now, a new documentary on Channel 4, called The Trial, is set to explore the accusations while revealing never-before-seen audio clips of the pop icon sharing his “intimate” thoughts on minors.

A report in the New York Post offers a glimpse into one of the recordings where Jackson is saying, “If you told me right now…Michael, you could never see another child…I would kill myself.”

“Children want to just touch me and hug me,” he says in another clip, while sharing in a different clip that “Kids end up falling in love with my personality. Sometimes it gets me into trouble.”

Amid these recordings, a source tells the Post, “There is something extremely unusual and eerie about Michael Jackson’s infatuation with children.”

“To hear his voice discuss children in this manner, given he had been accused on molestation, raises many questions about his mental health, mindset and sadly, intentions.”

“This is Michael at his most open, giving us an insight into how he was in love with children… infatuated with wanting to be around them,” the insider adds.

The Trail will air in the UK on Feb. 4.
