Kevin Spacey accuser admits he joked about sexual assault incident for 'sense of catharsis'
foxnews.comAn aspiring actor who accused Kevin Spacey of drugging and assaulting him admitted he joked to his friends about potentially sleeping with Spacey if he couldn't find jobs. "It became a running joke, and that’s me running with the joke," he said of the mockery he made of the incident for a "sense of catharsis." On Monday, the man – who has remained anonymous – admitted that he turned to humor to cope with the traumatic event.
He testified that he fell asleep at Spacey's apartment before he woke up to Spacey performing oral sex on him. During cross-examination, Spacey's lawyer, Patrick Gibbs, confronted the witness with the jokes he later made about Spacey and apparent texts or calls he made to the star after the incident.
The man acknowledged he initially resisted requests by police for phone data and social media accounts. However, he denied obstructing the investigation, which couldn't find his records from the time of the incident.
He denied staying in contact with Spacey for four months after the incident despite data from the actor's phone that appeared to show phone calls and text messages to the witness' number.
