More suicide incoming

Kevin Spacey sued by Anthony Rapp and a second accuser for alleged sexual assault

Anthony Rapp is suing Kevin Spacey for sexual assault. In the filing, obtained by Yahoo Entertainment, the Star Trek: Discovery star, now 48, and another unidentified male plaintiff allege they were abused at age 14. Rapp first came forward with the accusation in 2017, prompting dozens of other men to levy similar claims against Spacey.

“Kevin Spacey sexually abused Mr. Rapp and another gentleman, who needs to remain anonymous, when they were 14 years old,” Rapp’s lawyer tells Yahoo Entertainment in a statement. “Spacey’s conduct was not only improper and abusive, but it was a crime. In bringing this action under New York’s Child Victims Act, Mr. Rapp, who previously came forward to BuzzFeed about the abuse, and our client who needs to remain anonymous have taken the first step to hold Spacey accountable. This lawsuit sends a strong message that no matter how wealthy, powerful or famous you may be you are not above the law. Our clients are looking forward to their day in court and to obtaining justice for a crime that never should have happened.”
