Actor Kevin Spacey Charged with Sexual Assault

February 5, 2019 by Red Bank Legal

In Massachusetts this past December, the Cape and Islands district attorney announced plans to charge actor Kevin Spacey with felony assault. The charge stems from an alleged encounter Spacey had with a then-18-year-old boy at a Nantucket bar back in 2016. The boy claims the actor got him drunk and sexually assaulted him. The case first came to light after the alleged victim’s mother held a press conference to share the boy’s story with the public.

Spacey was arraigned in Nantucket District Court in early January on charges of indecent assault and battery. A plea of not guilty was entered into the record, and the next scheduled court date is March 4.

These are not the only allegations facing the former House of Cards actor. Spacey is also being investigated for alleged sexual assaults in Los Angeles and England as well.

Spacey Shares Bizarre Video

Until recently, the actor has been keeping a fairly low profile. That changed when he posted a bizarre video on “YouTube” as his House of Cards character, Frank Underwood.

In the video, Spacey addresses the public, stating, “I can promise you this. If I didn’t pay the price for the things we both know I did do, I’m certainly not going to pay the price for the things I didn’t do.” Spacey’s character was killed off prior to the sixth and final season of the television drama.

Assault Allegations Against Spacey

Going back to October 2017, Spacey has been accused of sexual misconduct numerous times. Several production staff members who once worked on the House of Cards set accused the actor of sexual harassment.

Another actor accused Spacey of making a pass at him some 30 years ago, when he was just 14 years old. While Spacey apologized to the actor, he also claims he has no recollection of the incident.

In total, more than 30 separate individuals have come forward to accuse the actor of some form of sexual harassment, assault, or rape.

Kevin Spacey and the #MeToo Movement

The man who accused Spacey of sexual harassment when he was a young boy says the current #MeToo movement empowered him to share his own experience.

#MeToo has opened the door for victims to come forward and name their alleged abusers, while reinvigorating the conversation about sex, power, and control in the workplace.

Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

In the United States, it is unlawful to harass a person on the basis of their sex. Sexual harassment does not always have to be sexual in nature; it can also be offensive remarks about women or men in general. The harasser can be male or female, and the victim may be the same or opposite sex.

Generally, one off-color comment or suggestion is not considered unlawful harassment. But when the advances or requests become so pervasive that they create a hostile work environment, they more than likely constitute sexual harassment.
