The first sexual-assault accusations against Spacey, 63, surfaced in 2017, when the actor Anthony Rapp told Buzzfeed that Spacey — who was starring in Netflix’s House of Cards at the time — had sexually assaulted him when he was 14. Spacey initially responded with a muddled apology note in which he came out as gay (a deflection many criticized as conflating homosexuality and pedophilia) and claimed not to remember the incident. “If I did behave then as he describes,” he wrote on Twitter, “I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior, and I am sorry for the feelings he describes having carried with him all these years.”
more than 30 men have come forward with accusations against Spacey since Rapp went public, accusing him of misconduct ranging from nonconsensual groping to the attempted rape of minors.

If I could put my pedantic hat on, he hasn’t been found innocent. Such a judgement, if it existed, would make civil cases and retrials somewhat more difficult.
