The second week of Kevin Spacey's MeToo-era trial starts Tuesday in New York -- but no criminal charges are involved. CTVNews.ca looks at what to know about Spacey, Rapp, the lawsuit and the case so far.
Actor Kevin Spacey leaves court following proceedings in a civil trial, Friday, Oct. 7, 2022, in New York, accusing him of sexually abusing a 14-year-old in the 1980s when he was 26. The second week of Kevin Spacey's MeToo-era trial starts Tuesday in New York -- but no criminal charges are involved.
At the end of the night, an inebriated Spacey allegedly picked Rapp up, placed him on his bed and climbed on top of him. Rapp said the then-26-year-old Spacey held him down tightly, but he was able to get away and left the apartment.Rapp filed the lawsuit in 2020 and is seeking compensatory and punitive damages up to $40 million. He is due to continue his testimony Tuesday.Rapp is an actor who made his Broadway debut at 10.
Spacey had never disclosed his sexuality before but said Rapp's story encouraged him to come out as a gay man. Many observers thought it was an odd time for Spacey to address his sexuality or even saw his revelation as an attempt to deflect blame. "He grew bitter about not getting parts as an openly gay man," Jennifer L. Keller said. His team also proposed the allegations were the product of a young actor's inability to tell the difference between real life and a scene he played on Broadway eight times a week.In the United Kingdom, Spacey faces charges of sexually assaulting three men a decade or more ago. He pleaded not guilty in July during a hearing at London's Central Criminal Court.
