Jury: Kevin Spacey didn't molest actor Anthony Rapp in 1986

His whole story had more plot holes than a badly written script! The fact that he isn’t bothered that he lost and is just grateful he was heard says everything you need to know about him. He is an attention seeking drama queen who was jumping in the band wagon of real serious crimes looking to earn a quick buck and make himself relevant again and that in itself is a joke because he never was.

That is not how the law works, and it is grossly irresponsible to report a verdict that way. In court, the burden of proof is on the prosecution, meaning those making the accusation have to prove it happened, which isn't always possible, especially decades down the line. Sexual assault crimes are notoriously hard to prove no matter what the victim chooses to handle it in the aftermath, but sexual assault happens all the time. Just because the prosecution couldnt prove it happened, doesnt mean it didnt happen. It doesnt erase the past. It doesnt even mean that the judge of jury believe the defendent didnt do it - but they have an obligation to make sure the burden of proof is met by the prosecution, and that is so often impossible to do. Most victims who walk into court to face their abuser dont get a guilty verdict, but it doesnt erase the trauma that their abuser gave to them and the verdict does not make them liars. I heard about KS's alleged behaviour a couple of years before it all came out in the press, around the time he left the Old Vic in London, so it wasnt particularly surprising to me, and I believe Anthony Rapp.

I don't find this amusing at all.
