IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Kevin Spacey headed to Federal Court over alleged 1986 sexual assault

1 年前
On October 6, the civil trial against Kevin Spacey for the alleged sexual assault of a then-teenage Anthony Rapp is set to begin. NBC reports that a jury will hear the case in downtown Manhattan at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. In September of 2020, Rapp filed a lawsuit against Spacey. In the lawsuit, Rapp alleged that Spacey sexually assaulted the then-14-year-old actor at a Manhattan party in 1986. NBC reports that the trial is expected to focus on Rapp's claims of battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
