Kevin Spacey’s accuser and his death

One of the accusers of Kevin Spacey was an unnamed masseur who had filed a case against the actor for sexual assault. He has died and the news went public when Kevin’s lawyers filed a notice in the court on it. This filing was lodged in a court in California.

It stated that the accused massage therapist who was named John Doe in court documents has died and that his death was recent. There were no more details provided about the death.

The masseur’s lawyer Genie Harrison unhappy with the notice filing

The masseur’s lawyer Genie Harrison said that the filing of the notice by Kevin’s lawyers was not necessary. She said that the actor’s legal team is trying to get the case dismissed.

As per her:

“Filing the notice yesterday was unnecessary and contemptible. I’m not surprised, however, that Spacey prematurely filed the notice in an attempt to gain the advantage of a ticking clock.
“Mr Doe’s family must now open his estate at the same time as planning a funeral and processing their grief.”

She also revealed that the accuser was a “dignified, kind, middle-aged man” who was traumatized by the alleged assault. Genie added that there are other victims of the actor who are coming forward to press their charges against him.

She said:

“His fight for justice is still very much alive.”

His estate has to substitute the case into a lawsuit in 90 days. The masseur filed the case in September 2018. He did not reveal his identity due to fear of harassment and personal embarrassment.

About the sexual assault case of the masseur

The allegations are that during a massage in 2016 October, Kevin forced the masseur to touch his genitalia and later asked him whether he would give him oral sex. The lawyers of the accuser had filed the case in Los Angeles Superior Court but it is now moved to the federal court.

He had accused the actor of sexual battery, gender violence, battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and also of false imprisonment.

A pre-trial conference was to be held in May 2020. There are six allegations of sexual assault against Kevin dating from 1996 to 2013. The police are investigating all these cases at present.

Another case of sexual assault in Massachusetts

The prosecutors of Massachusetts state of the USA were framing a criminal case against Kevin. An 18-year-old man had said that in 2016 Kevin had gotten him some alcohol in a bar and later groped him. But the man said that he had lost his phone which he used on the day of the groping.

He refused to testify and hence the charges of indecent assault and battery were dropped off. The defense lawyers state that if the phone was there, Kevin’s innocence could have been proven. The phone had some deleted messages which could have been used in favor of Kevin.
