    Information

    Spacey got cleared by New York jury in 2022

    In October 2022, a New York jury cleared Spacey in a sexual assault case as the complainant and actor Anthony Rapp's attorneys could not prove that he touched the latter's "sexual or intimate part or parts."

    In 2017, Rapp disclosed the details via a Buzzfeed article and mentioned the assault occurred in 1986 when Rapp was 14 and Spacey was in his late 20s.
