London. One of the four men who accused her Sex Crimes by Kevin Spaceydescribed him as “raunchy, sneaky and difficult” and detailed multiple touches at a court hearing in London on Monday.
The alleged victim is being questioned by Spacey’s attorney behind a curtain to protect his anonymity after video of his interview with police was shown to the jury this morning at the time his complaint was filed.
During police questioning, the man explained that the American actor, who he worked with when he was director of the Old Vic Theater in London, assaulted him at least a dozen times, “groped him over” and made him “very uncomfortable”.
Kevin Spacey is described as ‘a man who sexually abuses other men’
“He grabbed my privates and then tried to put my hands on him,” he said, noting that he felt “disgusting.”
On one occasion, when he violently tried to shake off a touch that “hurt him,” Spacey reportedly responded, “How it turns me on, you’re such a man.”
Another time, when the victim asked him to stop, the actor, who he describes as “sensitive and confused about his sexuality,” laughed “and changed the subject.”
According to the witness in the police interview, many people in the Old Vic knew of the interpreter’s attitude and had “alarmed” him, although because of his unspecified work, he had frequent and occasional contact with him, going to his home where he found him “naked or half naked”.
That witness asserted that to this day he has not been able to watch any films or series starring Spacey, who he says “pretended to be nice but was an aggressive predator.”
The 63-year-old actor, present in court today, faces 12 charges against four men between the ages of 30 and over 40 between 2001 and 2013, to which he has pleaded not guilty.
The trial at the Old Bailey Criminal Court, which began on Friday, is expected to last three to four weeks, after which a date to be determined will be decided.
