Anthony Rapp Accuses Kevin Spacey Of Sexual Assault

Famous actor Kevin Spacey has been sued by two men, including the American actor Anthony Rapp, who filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against the actor alleging that he sexually assaulted them in the 1980s. Rapp and the other man claimed that they were only 14 when Spacey assaulted them.

The lawsuit was filed in the New York Supreme Court in Manhattan on Wednesday. Rapp met Spacey in an acting class in Westchester County in 1986. He was underage when Spacey assaulted him. According to the Lawsuit "Spacey asked Rapp to come to his Manhattan apartment and “engaged in sexual acts” with him on multiple occasions. He also claims that he was the victim of an “unwanted sexual advance” when Spacey grabbed his backside at a party. Spacey is also accused of assaulting the teenager despite him resisting and saying “no,” the lawsuit said.

The other accuser said he met Spacey at the same acting class in New York in 1981. The accuser was 12 at that time. Spacey invited him to his apartment where he sexually assaulted the minor.

Both the men are seeking legal action against Spacey for allegedly causing psychological damage.

In 2019, Spacey was set free from the charges of sexual assault. He was accused of groping a young man at a Nantucket bar in 2016. Former Boston TV news anchor Heather Unruh publicly accused the actor of assaulting her then 18-year-old son in a bar in July 2016.

"He was texting and snap chatting when Spacey reached down his pants and repeatedly touched his genitals over the course of three minutes while they were together at the Nantucket bar, where the accuser worked as a busboy, " Unruh’s son had told authorities.

Spacey denied the allegations in a video saying, "Of course, some believed everything and have just been waiting with bated breath to hear me confess it all. They’re just dying to have me declare that everything said is true and that I got what I deserved. Wouldn’t that be easy if it was all so simple? Only you and I both know it’s never that simple, not in politics and not in life."

The list is not yet over. Guy Pearce, an actor from Australia, had also alleged accused Spacey of sexual misconduct on the sets of L.A. Confidential in 1997. In an interview with an Australian talk show in 2018, Pearce alleged that he was often being groped by Spacey at the time. This led to a bigger controversy with more than 30 men accusing the well-known actor of sexual misconduct.
