“It was well known he was up to no good,” the man said in a video of his police interview played for jurors in Spacey’s sexual assault trial.
The accuser, who cannot be identified under British law, is one of four men the former “House of Cards” star is accused of assaulting in the U.K.
The trial, which is expected to last four weeks, continues Tuesday before a jury of nine men and three women in Southwark Crown Court. The actor, who has homes in the U.S. and London, is free on bail. He served as artistic director at the Old Vic from 2003 until 2015. When he complained to a woman he worked for, she laughed it off and she said, “You can cope, you can handle it. We all know what he’s like,” he said.But he said that as Spacey escalated to grabbing his crotch and taking his hand to rub the actor’s own privates over the pants, he began to dread when Spacey would return to London.
“Nothing happened between us. He was assaulting me,” the man replied. “I was doing my job and he was the one touching me. “’ The defence lawyer also showed jurors a snapshot the man had sent Spacey of himself as thanks for supporting him on a charity hike in the Rocky Mountains of North America. The man also kept a warm letter Spacey wrote him after donating 5,000-pound for the trek.
