Court hears Kevin Spacey grabbed a man ‘like a cobra’ in West End theatre | Hollywood
In a court hearing at Southwark Crown Court, London, shocking details emerged as a man, who remains anonymous for legal reasons, accused actor Kevin Spacey of sexual assault.
The alleged incident took place in a West End theatre, where the man claimed that Spacey grabbed him with “such force it was really painful” and made a series of offensive and sexually explicit comments.
Spacey, who appeared to be under the influence of alcohol, grabbed him with such force that it caused him significant pain.
In a police interview played during the trial, the man described the assault, stating, “He smelled of booze. He looked disheveled. He did not look like he had been to sleep… It was aggressive. It wasn’t trying to be a seduction. It was angry.”
The man further revealed that Spacey had grabbed his penis in a manner akin to a striking cobra.
“Like a cobra coming out and getting hold.”
The man pushed the American actor’s arm away in an attempt to defend himself.
Spacey allegedly responded to the situation by laughing, adding further distress to the victim.
The man emphasized his shock at the explicit and aggressive nature of the comments made by the Hollywood star, stating, “It was very aggressive. I have never had anyone talk to me in that way.”
He expressed “feeling very uncomfortable” and violated by the abuse of power he perceived in Spacey’s actions.
The complainant revealed his motivation for coming forward to the police, describing a sense of allowing someone to demean him and hoping for closure and justice through the legal process.
He stated, “I hope he does the right thing – if he apologizes, then maybe I won’t want him to go to court… Because it was an injustice.”
