Kevin Spacey's accuser describes the Oscar-winning actor as a ‘slippery, snaky, difficult person'

said in a video of his police interview played for jurors in the Oscar-winner’s sexual assault trial. “It does make me feel a bit sick talking about it," the report said.  The victim said Spacey made him uncomfortable querying him about his sexuality, then became “touchy feely" and moved on to aggressive groping when they were alone together. “He was right from the get-go grooming me," the man said in his police interview last year.

Spacey, 63, has pleaded not guilty to a dozen charges involving four men for events that date from 2001 to 2013. The charges include sexual assault, indecent assault and causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent. He could go to prison if convicted, though Spacey told a German magazine that he expects he’ll be offered work "the moment I am cleared of these charges." Once one of the biggest actors of his generation, Spacey won an Academy Award for supporting actor in “The Usual Suspects" in 1995 and best actor Oscar for the 1999 movie “American Beauty." He’s also won awards for the stage and small screen.

His career dried up when sexual misconduct allegations against him arose as the #MeToo movement exploded. He was written off the Netflix political thriller “House of Cards," and cut from the completed film “All the Money in the World." The actor, who has homes in the U.S. and London, is free on bail.

He served as artistic director at the Old Vic from 2003 until 2015. The man said he reacted with horror when Spacey made first contact by rubbing his neck early in their work relationship in the early 2000s. “The first time that he touched me was just a massive shock," he testified in Southwark Crown Court.
