Kevin Spacey accuser could be forced to testify next month after key piece of evidence in case goes missing.
The man who has accused actor Kevin Spacey of sexual assault could be ordered to take the witness stand next month in a pre-trial hearing, after the court learned this week that a key piece of evidence -- the cell phone he was using to text friends about his alleged encounter with Spacey in a Nantucket bar in July 2016 – is missing, according to newly-filed documents in the case.
At a contentious hearing earlier this month, Spacey attorney Alan Jackson said that Unruh told police that she had cleaned the phone of her son’s “frat boy activities” before turning over the phone to police for a forensic analysis. In response to the filing, a Nantucket District Court judge postponed a scheduled June 21 hearing until July 8, and told attorneys that if the phone cannot be located by then, the accuser will be asked to testify about its whereabouts in court.
Portions of subsequently-deleted text exchanges cited by Jackson turned up the words “picture” and “help," according to the attorney. “At least in my experience, those receipts are signed by the law enforcement officer turning it over and the person who receives it.”
