RE: ‘tried to seduce’ him decades ago when he was a 14-year-old actor appearing on Broadway.”
I wonder why it takes people decades to bring charges like these up...
Why does it take so long?
If it isn’t a completed rape, then an immediate complaint is probably career-ending, as well as a black-eye due to a feeling that maybe the victim asked for it.
This is a no-harm, but definitely a foul situation. Maybe the accuser wanted to wait until he was both psychologically, financially, and professionally secure before speaking out.
And, after some of the moves Spacey put on his bodyguard in “House of Cards”, it’s entirely believable. That sideline wasn’t essential to the story line, IMHO.
