Kevin Spacey appears at Massachusetts courthouse where judge was holding hearing in case accusing disgraced actor of groping young man at Nantucket bar in 2016
Kevin Spacey made an unexpected appearance Monday at a Massachusetts courthouse where his attorney demanded access to the cellphone of the young man who has accused the actor of groping him at a bar on the resort island of Nantucket in 2016. Spacey’s attorney Alan Jackson called the case against Spacey „ridiculous“ and accused prosecutors of withholding information from the defense.
Jackson urged the judge to set a trial date as soon as possible, saying the former „House of Cards“ star is „suffering“ without a resolution to the case. The judge said the earliest the trial will happen is the fall.
„This is a ridiculous case and (prosecutors) shouldn’t have filed it,“ Jackson said. First Assistant District Attorney Brian Glenny denied his office misrepresented anything to the defense.
Spacey, who was wearing a gray suit and glasses, sat at a table alongside his lawyers. He occasionally whispered in Jackson’s ear but didn’t speak during the hearing, or respond to questions from reporters as he walked in or out of the courthouse.
