Spacey’s accuser says he has video.
The man claims the actor sexually assaulted him at a bar
The man who claims that actor Kevin Spacey sexually assaulted him two years ago at a Massachusetts bar recorded part of the alleged incident, according to police reports.
The 20- year- old man, who was 18 at the time of the alleged assault, told authorities that he was “texting and snapchatting” and caught Spacey on video reaching into his pants and groping his genitals, according to police reports obtained by People. Spacey is scheduled to be arraigned on a felony sexual assault charge in Nantucket on Jan. 7.
According to the police report, the accuser worked as a busboy at the bar where he alleged the assault occurred. He had completed his shift as a busboy and approached Spacey for an autograph. He told authorities that he lied to Spacey about his age, falsely saying that he was a 23-year-old college student. Spacey and the accuser drank heavily that evening, and the accuser “didn’t want to get in trouble at work or get his work in trouble” as he tried to es- cape the situation.
At some point during the evening, the accuser texted his girlfriend that Spacey was hitting on him. He went on Snapchat after she told him she didn’t believe him. “The video is one of the last times Spacey touched him,” according to the report.
“( The accuser) said he had his phone in his left hand and he may have had a glass of whiskey in his right hand.” His girlfriend corroborated the story, and that she “received a Snapchat video from (the accuser) showing Spacey touching the front of (his) pants by his crotch.” The accuser said he tried to move Spacey’s hands and move away from him without success. He alleged that Spacey tried to grope him for about three minutes, and that he was able to leave only when Spacey went to the bathroom.
The mother of the accuser is former Boston news anchor Heather Unruh, who publicly accused Spacey of assaulting her son during a 2017 press conference. She said her son was a “starstruck, straight, 18-year-old young man who had no idea that the famous actor was an alleged sexual predator or that he was about to be- come his next victim.”
After news broke earlier this week about the pending charge against Spacey, the actor posted a bizarre video on YouTube in which he appears to revive his character from “House of Cards,” U. S. President Frank Underwood. Titled “Let Me Be Frank,” Spacey seemingly blurred the line between reality and fiction.
Taken on the surface, it seems to be Spacey trying to stir up public interest in some kind of revival of the Underwood character, who was killed off in the final season of the show. Within the context of the sexual allegations against Spacey, it’s darker.
“If I didn’t pay the price for the things we both know I did do, I’m certainly not going to pay the price for the things I didn’t do,” Spacey/ Underwood says in the video. “Oh, of course they’re going to say I’m being disrespectful, not playing by the rules. Like I ever played by anyone’s rules before. I never did. And you loved it.”
As of Thursday afternoon, the video had been viewed more than 7.8 million times.
