Three of Kevin Spacey 's accusers are liars, his lawyer told jurors Thursday at the actor's sexual assault trial, and he suggested they not convict him for making a “clumsy pass” at a fourth man.
Actor Kevin Spacey walks outside Southwark Crown Court, London, Monday July 17, 2023. Elton John briefly testified Monday for the defense at Kevin Spacey's sexual assault trial as the actor's lawyer attempted to discredit a man who claimed the Oscar winner aggressively grabbed his crotch while driving to the singer's summer ball.
The acts alleged between 2001 and 2013 range from unwanted touching to aggressive crotch-grabbing and, in one instance, performing oral sex on an unconscious man. Spacey was artistic director at the Old Vic Theatre in London during most of that period.
Gibbs focused on the allegations by a man who said Spacey subjected him to unwanted touching for years until a day he was driving the star to Elton John's gala ball in 2004 or 2005 when the actor grabbed his crotch so forcefully that he nearly swerved off the road.surprise testimony from John"To their everlasting credit, Sir Elton John and David Furnish stood up and were counted in defense of a man who has been universally canceled ... risking the wrath of the internet,” Gibbs said.
Gibbs said a photo that the driver sent Spacey from a mountain peak and photos of him with Spacey that he posted on social media years later further undermined the man's testimony. Testimony from the director, producer and company manager who were present at the time suggested Spacey would have had little or no opportunity to assault the man as he described, Gibbs said. Those witnesses also challenged the man's account that Spacey looked like he'd been up all night and smelled of alcohol.
