An actor who's accused Kevin Spacey of making a sexual advance on him as a 14-year-old recounted the episode for a New York City jury on Friday, testifying he felt helpless when Spacey climbed on top of him in bed.

"I was frozen," Anthony Rapp said on the second day of a civil trial in Manhattan. "I was pinned underneath him. I didn't know what to do."

Asked by his lawyer how he would respond to anyone who downplayed the severity of what happened, Rapp responded by describing himself as a frightened child trying to fend off a grown man. Rapp, 50, came forward with the accusation in 2017, when he was the first among others who largely shut down Spacey's career with multiple claims of inappropriate touching or sexual advances.

Holtzman said Spacey didn't say anything when he entered the office in a windbreaker, "tight blue jeans," and carrying a leather shoulder bag, but he recalled knowing him because he'd seen his picture in the program for a play, "Henry IV," in which Spacey was performing at the time.
