A jury concluded Tuesday that Kevin Spacey didn’t molest fellow actor Anthony Rapp in the 1980s, bringing to a conclusion a trial that was an outgrowth of the MeToo movement.
When the verdict was read, Spacey dropped his head, then hugged his lawyers. He didn't speak to reporters as he left the courthouse.
Rapp testified that he wriggled away and fled as an inebriated Spacey asked if he was sure he wanted to leave.it never happened, and he would never have been attracted to someone who was 14.Rapp and his lawyers also left the courthouse without speaking to reporters. In his closing statements to the jury Thursday, Rapp's lawyer, Richard Steigman, accused Spacey of lying on the witness stand.
A judge in Los Angeles this summer approved an arbitrator’s decision to order Spacey to pay $30.9 million to the makers of “House of Cards” for violating his contract by sexually harassing crew members. During her closing arguments to the jury, Keller suggested reasons Rapp imagined the encounter with Spacey or made it up.
