Kevin was one of the first Hollywood actors who had cases of sexual assault against him after the Harvey Weinstein scandal came to light.
Kevin used to work at the London’s Old Vic Theater from 2004 to 2015. He was the artistic director at the Theater. A man named Anthony Rapp has alleged that when he was 14 and Kevin was 26, Kevin had made a sexual advance on him in the year 1986.
In response, Kevin said that he does not remember the time and any sort of encounter with the man, but he apologized for his inappropriate drunken behavior.
The Old Vic Theater also found 20 people who claimed that Kevin had inappropriately behaved with them.
Even in the US, a young man said that Kevin had groped him in a Nantucket bar way back in 2016. However, this man has now dropped his case against the actor.
