NEW YORK : Anthony Rapp, who has accused Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey of making an unwanted sexual advance in 1986 when Rapp was 14, testified on Friday at a civil trial that he felt like a"deer in the headlights" when Spacey climbed on top of him at a party.
But the experience at Spacey's Manhattan apartment"disrupted my sense of belonging" in the theater community, Rapp said. Spacey, 63, has denied Rapp's accusations and other sexual misconduct charges. In her opening statement on Thursday, Spacey's lawyer said Rapp invented the incident to try to raise his own profile because he was jealous of Spacey's more successful acting career.
Spacey won Oscars for best actor in"American Beauty" and best supporting actor in"The Usual Suspects," but his career largely ended after more than 20 men accused him of sexual misconduct.
