Disgraced actor Kevin Spacey will plead not guilty to sexual assault of an 18-year-old.
Disgraced actor Kevin Spacey will plead not guilty to sexual assault of the 18-year-old son of a Boston TV news anchor at his Jan. 7 arraignment in Nantucket, Mass. District Court, according to an affidavit obtained by the Boston Globe.
Spacey also requested not to appear in court. “I am requesting that this court excuse my physical presence at the arraignment as I reside out-of-state and believe that my presence will amplify the negative publicity already generated in connection with this case.… I wish to enter a plea of not guilty,” Spacey’s affidavit said.
Spacey’s request was denied by Mass.
