Anthony Rapp sues Kevin Spacey on sex assault allegation
NEW YORK Actor Anthony Rapp and another man filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against actor Kevin Spacey, accusing him of sexual assaults in the 1980s when they were teens. When Rapp first made the accusation, Spacey issued a statement saying he didn't remember the encounter but apologized. In the lawsuit, the plaintiff said Spacey attempted to assault him sexually on his final visit. In July, prosecutors in Massachusetts dropped a case after the 18-year-old man who accused Spacey of groping him refused to testify. The Associated Press does not normally name people alleging sexual assault unless they come forward publicly, as Rapp has done.
