Anthony Rapp testified on Tuesday that he was haunted by the alleged abuse perpetrated by Kevin Spacey
and one year after a change in New York state law allowed him to file the suit. Tuesday marked Rapp’s second day of testimony.
According to Rapp, Spacey befriended him when they both worked on Broadway and sexually assaulted him during a social gathering at Spacey’s Manhattan apartment in 1986 when Rapp was 14 years old. During the testimony, Rapp said he shared the incident with his therapist and said it “had never occurred to me” that the alleged sexual misconduct was something he could treat in therapy.reported that Spacey’s attorney got Rapp to concede on the witness stand that one of his claims on why he decided to come forward was not true.
Rapp’s lawyers previously claimed that Rapp was inspired to come forward with his allegation of sexual abuse after seeing Lupita Nyong’o speak out about Harvey Weinstein. A screenshot of a text from Spacey’s lawyers showed that Rapp contacted apleaded not guilty to sexual assault charges — unrelated to Rapp’s case — in London. The actor had been accused of assaulting three men between 2005 and 2013 in London. The actor is expected to face trial on the London charges in June 2023.
