The authorities have dropped the charges against the American actor Kevin Spacey, who had been accused of sexual assault and indecent in the state of Massachusetts, in a case that had already been weakened by the alleged victim himself. It is an expected result after the Hearing on July 8, in which the young man who allegedly denounced having been assaulted by the actor in July 2016 decided to remain silent so as not to incriminate himself The man who had denounced Kevin Spacey for sexual assault in Massachusetts three years ago years, he withdrew his civil lawsuit last month. Mitchell Garabedian, the alleged victim’s attorney, explained that they had asked for the voluntary dismissal of the lawsuit accusing Spacey of “explicit sexual conduct and lewd conduct.” In their defense, Spacey’s lawyers accused the complainant of eliminating text messages that would support the actor’s defense. The judge overseeing the criminal case recently ordered the complainant to provide his mobile phone to the defense, but claimed that he could not find it. This decision is a slap in the face for the prosecutor Michael O’Keefe, who to date has been the only one who has accused Kevin Spacey, the subject of other investigations in the United States and England, but the decision will only have limited consequences on the career of the 59-year-old actor, who has been paralyzed since the first accusations against him for sexual assault , in November 2017. Then, Spacey was involved for the first time in a sexual controversy, when actor Anthony Rapp accused him of trying to seduce him in 1986 when he was 14 years old.The controversy led to the role that Spacey played in ‘House of Cards’ was removed from the series, in addition to erasing his character – already recorded – from the movie ‘All the money in the world’. Spacey, 59, apologized for “inappropriate behavior” with Rapp.
