Kevin Spacey has taken the stand as the first witness in his own defense in the sexual misconduct trial against him, brought by actor Anthony Rapp.
In a response to the first question from his attorney, Jay Barron, Spacey said Rapp’s allegations are not true. Earlier, attorneys for actor Anthony Rapp finished presenting their case against Spacey. Rapp, best known for his role in “Star Trek: Discovery,” claims that in 1986, Spacey, then 26, invited Rapp, then 14, to his Manhattan home where he picked Rapp up, laid him down on his bed, grabbed his buttocks and pressed his groin into Rapp’s body without his consent.
When asked by his attorney, Spacey testified that he’s always been private about his life and his upbringing. He said his late father was a White supremacist and neo-Nazi, a fact he testified he’s never disclosed publicly before. His father’s prejudicial views fostered his “intolerance” to bigotry, Spacey said, and also, in part, kept him from publicly acknowledging he is gay sooner.
