Lawsuit filed against Kevin Spacey over sexual assaults

 Two men, including the first to speak in what became a flurry of accusations, filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against actor Kevin Spacey, accusing him of sexual assaults in the 1980s when they were teens.

One of the men, actor Anthony Rapp, first spoke out against Spacey in 2017, a decision that led to others speaking up and Spacey's career coming to an abrupt end.

In the lawsuit, filed in state Supreme Court in Manhattan, Rapp detailed what he has said publicly about Spacey, that the older actor made a sexual advance to him when a teenage Rapp attended a party.

The other plaintiff, who goes by the initials C.D., said he met Spacey as a teen taking an acting class, and Spacey invited him to his apartment on multiple occasions and engaged in sexual acts with him. In the lawsuit, the plaintiff said Spacey attempted to assault him sexually on his final visit.

An email seeking comment was sent to Spacey's attorney.
