Man who accused Kevin Spacey of Nantucket sex assault testifies that he didn't report the alleged incident to police for 15 months, contradicting prosecutors.
Three years to the day since a boozy encounter in a summer resort bar, a young man who has accused actor Kevin Spacey of felony sexual assault that night testified in a Nantucket courtroom for the first time on Monday.
After a series of significant blows to the prosecution's case against Spacey during the daylong hearing, the presiding judge noted that it was unclear whether the case would"continue or collapse." He scheduled another status hearing for July 31. Donovan also testified that he did not make a record of the fact that Unruh had told him when she turned over the phone to him that she had deleted material from it until just last month -- nearly three years after the alleged incident. When that record was handed over to defense attorneys, Spacey's defense team sought and was granted direct access to the phone. But then the accuser's family acknowledged that the phone was lost.
"The government can't point to any documentation that follows or tracks that phone and now that it's missing it's on them," he told Barrett. Yet the civil lawsuit was dismissed"with prejudice," meaning it can't be refiled. Garabedian declined during a break in the hearing to explain his comments in court.
The alleged victim, who told police he lied to Spacey about his age, saying he was a 23-year-old college student at Wake Forest University, also told investigators he"had at least four or five beers before Spacey allegedly suggested that they should switch to whiskey," according to court records.The alleged victim told investigators"things started to get a little fuzzy when he and Spacey went over to the piano" at the Club Car, according to the criminal complaint in the case.
