Allegations against Kevin Spacey started back in 2017 when actor Anthony Rapp spoke out about sexual advances made by Spacey towards him when he was 14 in 1986. Back then Spacey had apologized for his misbehavior towards Rapp. But this opened up a space for new allegations to come up against the actor.
Slowly there were so many accusations against Spacey, which included actors, theatre staff, hotel staff, and many more. The victims were the majority of men which even included teenagers. The sexual harassment charges against him ranged from back in the 1980s to 2016. ‘The Usual Suspects‘ actor is still undergoing trial for the sexual assault charges against him.

Weeks before a jury in New York had found Spacey not liable in a civil sexual misconduct trail brought by actor Anthony Rapp. He was molested by Spacey in the 1980s when they were working together in a play on Broadway. “A courtroom is not a safe space for trauma, that is for sure,“ Rapp told to Variety. “What is the proof? How do you prove things? Part of the movement is so much about honoring a story, listening, being a mirror, being holding, healing,” he continued. With new allegations surfacing Spacey will be facing more proceedings.
