In New York, a 12-person jury answered in the negative when asked whether Anthony Rapp, who filed a complaint in 2020, proved that “Kevin Spacey touched his private parts” in May 1986 at a party where he was partying at his apartment in New York. York York, reports AFP.

Rapp, who stars in Star Trek: Discovery, was 14 at the time and Kevin Spacey was 26. They were both performing on Broadway in New York in two different shows at the time.

The jury reached its decision after a brief deliberation, rejecting the claims of Rapp, 50, who was seeking $40 million in damages.

Shortly after the verdict was read, Kevin Spacey left the courtroom, sitting on the back of a black car, without making a statement to reporters.

The case, which came to light in late October 2017 at the very beginning of the #metoo sexual assault free speech phenomenon, followed other sexual assault allegations against the actor, leaving him marginalized in the entertainment world.

The actor who played a politician willing to do anything to gain power in Washington on Netflix’s hit series “House of Cards” is still in trouble with the law.

The 63-year-old actor is still on trial for sexually assaulting three men between March 2005 and April 2013 while he was a London theater director, to which he pleaded not guilty last July.
