Prosecutor says Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey is a 'sexual bully' who preys on other men

Spacey is “a man who does not respect personal boundaries or space, a man who it would seem delights in making others feel powerless and uncomfortable — a sexual bully, ” Prosecutor Christine Agnew said in her opening statement. “His preferred method of assault is, it appears, to grab aggressively other men in the crotch.”

The charges involve men now in their 30s or 40s and date from 2001 to 2013. That covers most of the decade when Spacey lived in Britain and served as artistic director of the Old Vic Theatre until 2015. The two-time Academy Award winner arrived at court by cab more than two hours early. He wore spectacles and was dressed in a light gray suit, white shirt and gold tie.

“I am sure the defendant will be gratified to know that many of you will know his name or have seen his films,” Justice Mark Wall said Wednesday to potential jurors during the brief selection process.The stakes for Spacey are high. A conviction could send him to prison while an acquittal could allow for a career comeback.
