Spacey charged with felony sexual assault
    2018-12-28  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

THE Cape and Islands, Mass. district attorney announced Monday that Kevin Spacey will face a charge of felony sexual assault, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

A public show-cause hearing was held for the case Dec. 20 where Clerk Magistrate Ryan Kearney issued a criminal complaint for the charge “against Kevin S. Fowler, also known as Kevin Spacey.”

The actor will be arraigned on a charge of indecent assault and battery at Nantucket District Court on Jan. 7, 2019.

The alleged assault on a male victim took place at a Nantucket bar in July 2016.

Last year, former Boston TV news anchor Heather Unruh held a press conference to share her son’s allegation of sexual assault against Spacey. She said her then 18-year-old son was sexually assaulted by Spacey inside the Club Car Restaurant on Nantucket. Unruh said her son, who was not of legal drinking age, told Spacey he was and that the actor “bought him drink after drink after drink.”

“My son was a starstruck, straight 18-year-old young man who had no idea that the famous actor was an alleged sexual predator or that he was about to become his next victim,” she said at the time. “When my son was drunk, Spacey made his move and sexually assaulted him.”

Mitchell Garabedian, the attorney for the alleged victim, said in a statement Monday, “The complainant has shown a tremendous amount of courage in coming forward. Let the facts be presented, the relevant law applied and a just and fair verdict rendered.”

As news of the arraignment broke Monday, a video was shared from Spacey’s official Twitter account of the actor seemingly addressing real-life events while in character as Frank Underwood from “House of Cards.” The video is titled “Let Me Be Frank.”

In the bizarre video, the actor addresses his “House of Cards” fate while also saying that he knows his fans want him back.

The video marks the first public showing from Spacey since the first allegation was made against him, by actor Anthony Rapp, in late 2017. The three-minute scene sees Spacey calling out “poppycock” headlines and an “impeachment without a trial.”

He ends by directly calling out his death on “House of Cards.” The former star who also served as an executive producer before he was fired, said: “My confidence grows each day that soon enough, you will know the full truth. ... You never actually saw me die, did you?”

Spacey is still under investigation in Los Angeles and in England for other alleged sexual assaults.(SD-Agencies)
