Kevin Spacey's lawyers enlisted the help of an A-list star Monday in his sexual assault trial, calling on Elton John and his husband to cast doubt on one of the Oscar winner's accusers at the end of the defense case.
Spacey, 63, has pleaded not guilty to a dozen charges that include sexual and indecent assault counts and one count of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent. John, who was wearing yellow tinted glasses, a dark jacket and light blue open-collar shirt, said the actor attended the party once in the early 2000s and arrived after flying to England on a private jet.
John said the actor spent the night at their house after the event. He also confirmed that Spacey bought a Mini Cooper at the auction held that night for the Elton John AIDS Foundation.Spacey said he spent the most money"ever" on that model of car and he kept it in John's garage until he could pick it up later.
Spacey said the two were friends and they engaged in some romantic contact but the man was straight, so the actor respected his wishes not to go further. He said he was crushed when he learned the man had complained to police about him and said the man had"reimagined" what had been consensual touching.
Spacey dismissed one man's fondling claims as"pure fantasy" and said he shared consensual encounters with two others who later regretted it. He accepted the claims of a fourth man, saying he had made a"clumsy pass" during a night of heavy drinking, but he took exception to the"crotch-grabbing" characterization.
