The Kevin Spacey trial, held at London’s Southwark Crown Court, is entering its third week. On this Monday (July 10th), one of his accusers said he believes that the Academy Award winner may have drugged him on his flat in London, before performing oral sex on the man while he was passed out.
The man – who can’t be named under UK law – reportedly broke down in tears during his police interview, a video of which was played in Court. He told the policemen that ‘he had been told before the meeting that Spacey liked young straight men, but did not know at that point he was a predator’.
The Guardian reported:
“The man said he felt vulnerable during the alleged assault because of Spacey’s power in the theatre world. He said: ‘You don’t want to annoy someone that powerful, that high up in the business you are trying to break into. The social sway he had was massive. If he said someone wasn’t going to work, I imagine they wouldn’t work’.
He said he came forward in the wake of the #MeToo movement, telling the police officer: ‘I said when the Harvey Weinstein thing happened something will happen in the next few weeks with Kevin Spacey’.”
