NEW YORK — A Manhattan jury heard the remaining evidence in actor Anthony Rapp’s civil sex abuse lawsuit against Kevin Spacey on Wednesday and will soon begin deliberating the case.
Rapp and Spacey’s lawyers are expected to deliver closing arguments early Thursday before jurors are instructed on how to deliberate. Rapp’s $40 million lawsuit accuses Spacey of making an unwanted sexual advance when he was 14 years old and Spacey was 26.
Rapp, who’s now 50, claims Spacey mounted him with “dead weight” while they were alone in the older actor’s apartment in 1986, sexually propositioning him before the teen squirmed out from underneath him.
