He said he left after the brief encounter.<\/p>\n<p>Now 50, Rapp is seeking compensatory and punitive damages for battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.<\/p>\n<p>Spacey won Oscars for best actor in \u201cAmerican Beauty\u201d and best supporting actor in \u201cThe Usual Suspects,\u201d but his career largely ended after more than 20 men accused him of sexual misconduct.<\/p>\n<p>Netflix dropped him from its political drama \u201cHouse of Cards\u201d, and Christopher Plummer replaced him in the role of J. Paul Getty in \u201cAll the Money in the World\u201d just a few weeks before the movie\u2019s scheduled release.<\/p>\n<p>Spacey faces a criminal trial in London next year after pleading not guilty to five sex offense charges over alleged assaults between 2005 and 2013. <\/p>\n<p>He was charged with indecent assault in Massachusetts in 2018 over allegations he sexually abused an 18-year-old man at a Nantucket bar in 2016, but prosecutors later dropped the charges after the alleged victim refused to testify.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Luc Cohen in New York; Editing by Lisa Shumaker)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/entertainment\/kevin-spacey-faces-sexual\/attachment\/jury-selection-to-begin-in-kevin-spacey-civil-sex-abuse\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI950PP-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI950PP-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/entertainment\/kevin-spacey-faces-sexual\/attachment\/jury-selection-to-begin-in-kevin-spacey-civil-sex-abuse-2\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI950PO-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI950PO-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/entertainment\/kevin-spacey-faces-sexual\/attachment\/jury-selection-to-begin-in-spacey-trial\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI950PR-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI950PR-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/entertainment\/kevin-spacey-faces-sexual\/attachment\/jury-selection-to-begin-in-kevin-spacey-civil-sex-abuse-3\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI950PS-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI950PS-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW YORK (Reuters) \u2013 It has been just under five years since Kevin Spacey\u2019s Oscar-winning career was upended by a slew of sexual misconduct accusations, starting when Anthony Rapp accused<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":1889525,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1675625","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_finder_url":"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/entertainment\/kevin-spacey-faces-sexual\/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=kevin-spacey-faces-sexual","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1675625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1675625"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1675625\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1889525"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1675625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1675625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1675625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
