NEW YORK — Kevin Spacey was cleared of sexual misconduct allegations in New York City this week in the first legal battle he’s faced since his acting career derailed in late 2017.
The lawyer who convinced a Manhattan jury not to find the 63-year-old liable for a battery claim brought by “Rent” actor Anthony Rapp predicted the verdict marked the beginning of Spacey’s road to vindication.
“What’s next is Mr. Spacey is going to be proven that he’s innocent of anything he’s been accused of,” the Oscar winner’s lawyer Jennifer Keller said after her victory.
