Charges dropped in US sex assault case against Kevin Spacey via SABCNewsOnline

Prosecutors dropped sexual assault proceedings against Kevin Spacey on July 17, 2019, after the case against the Hollywood star collapsed over his alleged victim's refusal to testify.on Wednesday after the case against the Hollywood star collapsed over his alleged victim’s refusal to testify.

Little chose to plead the Fifth Amendment, which allows witnesses not to testify so as not to incriminate themselves, after it was revealed that his cell phone — a key piece of evidence — may have been compromised. A police officer said he returned the phone after extracting all the information but admitted he neglected to ask for a receipt upon its return. The family said they never received it.

The two-time Oscar-winner — recognized for his supporting role in “The Usual Suspects” in 1996 and his lead role in “American Beauty” in 2000 — was considered one of the finest actors of his generation. Forced out of public life, Spacey posted a video online in December in which he discussed allegations of sexual abuse in character as Frank Underwood, the scheming politician he played in “House of Cards” before the show dropped him.

The actor then allegedly invited him back to his place, along with some other friends. The young man declined, suspecting the actor was trying to seduce him.
