Kevin Spacey heads to court over an alleged 1986 encounter between him and Anthony Rapp, when Rapp was 14 years old.
Spacey was questioned by British police in 2019 over claims made by several men that he had assaulted them.
"It sounds like Kevin Spacey feels that there's still a possibility of rehabilitating himself in this country. So, I think the strategy is to come over here, face the music, and see if he can salvage his career," Danny Rogers, editor-in-chief of PRWeek UK, told CBS News in June."He must feel the damage is being done to 'Brand Kevin Spacey' after all the allegations over the past five, or 10 years.
Spacey won an Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in"American Beauty," a 1999 film in which he played a frustrated suburban father who lusts after his teenage daughter's best friend. Rapp, who as a teenager acted in films including"Adventures in Babysitting," was part of the original Broadway cast of"Rent," and is now a regular on"Star Trek: Discovery" on television.Other witnesses will likely include a psychologist who believes Rapp currently experiences post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the encounter with Spacey.© 2022 CBS Interactive Inc.
