Kevin Spacey has filed yet another motion in federal court in his ongoing battle with actor Anthony Rapp over alleged sexual abuse.Spacey’s lawyers asked a judge Friday to dismiss Rapp’s sex abuse lawsuit, claiming the allegations made about Spacey’s conduct at a 1980 party were false and never occurred, the Associated Press reported.Rapp, who has appeared in the Broadway production of Rent and TV’s Star Trek: Discovery, has claimed that at age 14 he went to a party in 1986 at Spacey’s Manhattan home.
That’s where, he claims, a 26-year-old Spacey “engaged in a sexual advance” by grabbing Rapp’s buttocks and lifting him onto a bed and laying on his body.
Rapp claimed he “was forced to extricate himself” before leaving the party.Spacey’s lawyers contended that the encounter of less than 30-seconds had only fleeting contact with an “intimate” body part, and that Rapp was easily able to extricate himself.
