Prosecutors rested their sexual assault case against Kevin Spacey in a London courtroom Wednesday after four men testified in the past two weeks that the Oscar winner preyed on them.
One man said Spacey made racially offensive remarks to him and then",” grabbed his penis when they were alone backstage at a charity event.
An aspiring actor who reached out to Spacey for advice said he regretted meeting up with him for a late-night drink. He said he ended up at Spacey's flat near Waterloo station and — after falling asleep or passing out —A fourth man who had gone out for a night of heavy drinking with the actor said Spacey later gave him an awkward hug andSpacey told police last year that the fourth man who came forward had “reimagined” their time together and concocted false allegations.
Defense lawyer Patrick Gibbs suggested the men were motivated by money. Several of them have filed lawsuits against the star and one testified that an American lawyer had said he could win him $10 million., that one of the men had obstructed the investigation by resisting efforts to let officers view phone data and social media accounts and that some of the men were later ashamed of what they'd consensually done with Spacey.Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.
