Actor Kevin Spacey Hit with Second Accusation of Sex Assault of a Minor
The implosion of Tinseltown under the weight of its sexual misdeeds continues.
Actor Kevin Spacey, who was basking in the glow of being a Hollywood living legend until literally just a few days ago, is fast becoming an outright pariah everywhere in the world in the wake of a list of various sexual assault accusations leveled at him, accusations that now include charges he attempted to forcibly rape a young boy while working as a teacher in New York.
Trouble began for Spacey earlier this week when actor Anthony Rapp accused the actor of making sexual advances toward him back in 1986, when Rapp was just 14 and Spacey was 26. According to Rapp, he had attended a party at Spacey���s home, and, toward the end of the evening, the actor carried Rapp to his bed and tried to have sex with him. Spacey���s initial public response to that accusation was to say he did not remember the incident, but that he nevertheless apologized ���for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior.���
And on Thursday, news broke over at Vulture.com that Spacey was alleged to have had an ongoing sexual relationship with a 14-year-old boy when he was 24, and that the union came to an end when the actor tried to forcibly rape the boy in his (Spacey���s) apartment. Spacey was working as a teacher in Westchester County, New York at the time.
The accuser, now 48, anonymously detailed for Vulture, in graphic terms, how the attempted rape unfolded, and did not mince words in his description of Spacey, flatly calling him ���a pedophile and a sexual predator.���
When reached for comment, representatives for Spacey say the two-time Oscar winner ���absolutely denies the allegations.���
