Kevin Spacey Found Not Guilty in Sexual Assault Trial
When the trial began on June, there were 12 charges against Spacey. An additional count of indecent assault was added mid-trial, but then all four indecent assault charges were dropped due to a “legal technicality.”
The actor denied all the charges, describing two of the sexual encounters as consensual and a third as a “clumsy pass,” for which he claimed he had later attempted to apologize, and something his lawyer Patrick Gibbs said the jury should not convict him over. The fourth encounter he denied entirely. He claimed the accusers were driven by money.
The prosecutor Christine Agnew described Spacey as a “sexual bully” who used his celebrity status to get what he wanted and someone who “it would seem delights in making others feel powerless and uncomfortable.”
