Sex assault charge dropped against actor Kevin Spacey
MSN News ^ | 7/17/2019

Prosecutors in Nantucket on Wednesday dropped a felony sexual assault charge against the actor Kevin Spacey, after watching their case against the actor slowly fall apart under scrutiny from Spacey's defense team during months of contentious pre-trial hearings that unfolded in the resort island's lone courtroom.

In October, 2017, a young man contacted the Cape and Islands District Attorney's office to allege that 15 months earlier Spacey had plied him with beer and whiskey in July 2016 after meeting the two met at the Club Car bar and restaurant in Nantucket, where the young man had worked that summer as a busboy, and sexually assaulted him.

The alleged victim told investigators that while Spacey was touching him, he was texting and communicating with his girlfriend and other friends on Snapchat and sent his girlfriend a Snapchat video of Spacey groping him, according to the criminal complaint. He alleged the inappropriate touching of his genitals continued for about three minutes, according to the complaint. Those texts and videos have been a key focus of heated, pre-trial courtroom debates during previous hearings in the case.

Hollywood liberal favoritism. No one in flyover country gets away with this.

"Look at me! I'm being groped by a famous movie star!"

Seems to me that makes things hard when you're trying to prove you were assaulted.

I never believed the kid——and then he invokes the 5th—much ado about nothing.

Kevin Spacey = (fake) President Frank Underwood

(fake) pResident Barack Obama ---> "Frank (Underwood) learned it from me." "Frank learned it from me".

-----------------------------------

"Hello everybody. This is not Frank Underwood; this is Barack Obama.

Frank learned it from ME (Barack Obama)."

Ignore "the DaVinci Code" in the last 1/2, though. It's the first 1/2 that grabs your attention.

"(Anti-God/Anti-Christ) Frank (Underwood) learned it from me (Barack Obama)."

Obama channels antichrist HBO character

(BTW I disagree with having religious statues - but still, the underlying tone is there)

So is Spacey still a pedo? I guess his rep will never be the same regardless. I always thought he was a good actor. Really liked ‘The Usual Suspects’. But his politics and lifestyles were not endearing.

The accuser is the corrupt one in this instance.

Spacey will enjoy a classic Hollywood comeback. He's too good of an actor to bury. He'll be forgiven, mark my words.

Victim refused to testify. Well, that doesn’t surprise me.

I’m no fan of this actor. But there has to be a special place in hell for people who make false accusations.

Maybe she’s been paid off, maybe not. But this “Me Too” movement reminds us rather forcefully about why men join monasteries.

I agree, if they knowingly do so.

Sometimes people think a rumor is true. That can happen a lot these days.

BUT there are people who know they’re making up a completely-false accusation. Like “Dr. Ford”.

What is it that he has done that would require forgiveness?

JE is gonna

a) Be buried in such a deep hole that no one can hear from him again, until he dies

b) Be given another sweetheart deal, because he has too much on Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew or

c) Suffer a tragic and unexpected accident, which, unfortunately, included a raging fire that destroyed most of the evidence before it could be collected.

(I hope to promoted from Captain to Major)
