Actor Kevin Spacey denied being a “sexual harasser” and said he didn’t have a “wand” to put people to bed, while accusing one of his alleged victims of “seeking money”.
In a hearing on Friday in a London court, the 63-year-old Oscar-winning interpreter is for the second day in a row answering questions from prosecutors at London Court in Southwark in the capital’s center on the June 28 trial where he is facing 12 sex crimes charges against four men between 2001 and 2013.
Spacey claimed during his testimony that he was not a “sexual harasser,” noting that he “didn’t have a powerful wand to wave at people’s faces when he wanted someone to sleep with him.”
He also called the allegations of one of the alleged victims “weak” who he said was “chasing money, money and money.”
Spacey felt that in his situation he “could have had sex all the time,” but his fame made it difficult for him to trust people.
Prosecutors charged the actor with being “a major sexual harasser” rather than “a major flirt” as the actor himself defined in Thursday’s previous hearing, noting that Spacey was “in the middle of nowhere” at the time of the alleged crimes Basically the golden “boy of the London theater scene” and his alleged victims “people you probably wouldn’t believe”.
When asked if he considered himself a powerful man, the actor replied, “I didn’t have a powerful wand to wave at people’s faces when I wanted someone to sleep with me.”
During the morning session, Spacey also admitted that he “definitely” misread signals from one of the people who reported him, who denied a sexual interest in a house in England where he lived in the early 2010s.
However, he added that he has “amicable” relationships with two other whistleblowers: one who took him to a showbiz party in the early 2000s and the other, an aspiring actor.
