NEW: In a surprise appearance, Kevin Spacey returns to court in Nantucket for sex assault case pre-trial hearing.
Actor Kevin Spacey turned up to a Nantucket courtroom on Monday for another pretrial hearing in his sexual assault case, after his attorneys on accused the alleged victim in a motion filed on Friday of deleting exculpatory text messages from his phone before turning it over to police.
The young man claims Spacey groped him at the Club Car after he told the actor he was 23 -- not 18 -- and the two drank eight to 10 drinks together. The alleged victim told police he recorded a portion of the alleged groping in a Snapchat video he sent to his girlfriend at the time. On Friday, defense attorneys charged in a new court filing that the accuser deleted exculpatory text messages from the time surrounding his encounter with Spacey before turning over screenshots of text exchanges to the police -- and charged that the district attorney’s office knew this and “hid” it from the defense until now.
A civil attorney for the alleged victim did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the allegation of deleting messages from the accuser’s cell phone.
