Kevin Spacey found not guilty of sexually assaulting 4 men

India Today  

Kevin Spacey charmed the jury in his sexual assault trial with humor, humility and emotion as he dropped names of fellow stars and stories from his once-celebrated career while his lawyer called his accusers liars and said the Oscar winner was the real victim. “I am enormously grateful to the jury for having taken the time to examine all of the evidence and all of the facts carefully before they reached their decision.” Spacey’s wide-ranging testimony over two days culminated as he choked up speaking of the six years he went without work after sex abuse allegations surfaced against him during the #MeToo movement in the U.S. in 2017. Spacey said he was a “big flirt” who had consensual flings with men and whose only misstep was touching a man’s groin while making a “clumsy pass.” Defense lawyer Patrick Gibbs said three of the men were liars and that incidents had been “reimagined with a sinister spin.” He accused them of hopping on a “bandwagon” of complaints in the hope of striking it rich. Spacey had viewed the London case as a chance for redemption, telling German magazine Zeit last month that there were “people right now who are ready to hire me the moment I am cleared of these charges in London.” The verdict came about 20 minutes after jurors said they were deadlocked and the judge told them they could reach verdicts without unanimity — a provision allowed in English criminal cases. One of the men called his encounter with Spacey “completely traumatic and life-ruining.” One said he sought solace by working out and drinking more.
