Actor Kevin Spacey said during his trial in London on Thursday that he had never engaged in any sexual conduct at a party hosted by co-star Judi Dench. He insisted he would “not do anything to shame her”.
Between 2001 and 2013, the actor was said to have grabbed multiple men by the crotch and goaded someone into sexual acts. Four men were heard in the case. On Thursday morning, Spacey was questioned by his attorney, Patrick Gibbs.
Spacey admits he can be a “great flirt” with other men. But he vehemently denied that he had forced himself on anyone. “I’ve always respected the boundaries that people set,” said Spacey.
The representative’s testimony lasted more than four hours. Spacey got emotional on a regular basis and, according to The Telegraph, fought back tears. He said, among other things, that his world “suddenly exploded” when the first allegations surfaced six years ago. “I lost everything in a few days,” said Spacey.
The case was expected to last three to four weeks.
