63-year-old Kevin Spacey is an old Hollywood star. She has starred in many well-known blockbusters such as the superhero movies " Superman Returns ", " Seven Deadly Sins ", " Evil Boss ", " Extreme Car Theft God ", etc. She is also a famous director, filmmaker, playwright and singer.
In 2017, 50-year-old actor, singer and writer Anthony Ripp publicly accused Kevin Spacey of intending to sexually assault him when he was 14 years old, touching part of his body, causing him to feel mental and physical discomfort, and sued Kevin Spacey for compensation of $40 million.
The detailed process of the matter is like this. In 1986, at a party in , Manhattan, New York, Kevin Spacey, then 26, brought Anthony Rip into the bedroom and said she wanted to watch TV with him. Just as Anthony Rip was watching TV, Kevin Spacey carried Rapp to the bed, and then Spacey lay down beside him and began to touch Rip's buttocks, but Anthony Rip managed to escape.
However, Anthony Ripp admitted that he did not kiss, did not take off his clothes, and did not say anything when he was violated, and the whole thing lasted no more than 2 minutes. If this matter really exists, Kevin Spacey is too low-level and dirty to trick the little boy into the bedroom with the excuse of watching TV, but Anthony Rip is indeed too simple and not young at the age of 14. How could he be so easily taken advantage of by a 26-year-old man?
On October 20, 2022, a New York court ruled that Kevin Spacey was acquitted and declared Kevin Spacey acquitted. Judge Lewis Kaplan believes that the evidence is insufficient and Anthony Ripp cannot prove the allegations against Spacey. After the trial, Spacey did not accept any media interviews, but his lawyer issued a statement in which he thanked the jury for his fair verdict and denied the authenticity of the matter.
And Anthony Ripp's lawyer Peter Zakiel said: "We respect the jury's verdict, but it is worth noting that my client told the truth to the court, and nothing will change the fact that happened to him." Currently, Anthony Ripp is starring in "Star Trek: Exploration Series". My personal opinion is that he does not think he will fabricate this matter to seek compensation when he still has a normal income, but it is not ruled out that there is another possibility, that is, to use this lawsuit to increase the exposure of his personal or video.
By the way, Kevin Spacey was also acquitted in March this year in a case of sexual assault accused by three men in England.
Due to the Kevin Spacey scandal, it has been announced that it will suspend the production of the new season of "House of Cards" indefinitely. It is also announced that it will terminate the release of the biopic "Gor", which was jointly produced with him. It is reported that the film has now entered post-production.
