(Reuters) - Actor Kevin Spacey has been charged in connection with an allegation that he sexually abused an 18-year-old boy at a Nantucket, Massachusetts, bar more than two years ago, the local district attorney said on Monday.

 

Spacey is scheduled to be arraigned at Nantucket District Court on Jan. 7 on a single charge of indecent assault and battery on a person who is least 14 years old, according to court documents and a statement issued by Cape and Islands District Attorney Michael O'Keefe.

 

The charge against Spacey, 59, whose full name is Kevin Spacey Fowler, was filed after a Dec. 20 hearing, O'Keefe said. The name on the complaint was Kevin S. Fowler.

 

An attorney for Spacey did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

 

The charge follows an allegation in November 2017 by Boston television journalist Heather Unruh that her 18-year-old son was sexually assaulted by Spacey in a late-night encounter at the Club Car restaurant and bar in Nantucket on July 7, 2016.

 

At a news conference in which she made the allegations regarding Spacey, Unruh said her "star struck" son falsely told the actor he was old enough to drink when he met him at the bar, and was plied with liquor. The legal age to drink alcoholic beverages in Massachusetts is 21 years old.

 

"Kevin Spacey bought him drink after drink after drink, and when my son was drunk, Spacey made his move and sexually assaulted him," Unruh said at the 2017 news conference.

 

The actor stuck his hands into the young man's pants and grabbed his genitals, she said, adding that it was "completely unexpected" and that her son tried unsuccessfully to shift his body away from Spacey.

 

"He did not report the crime at the time, and that was largely because of embarrassment and fear," she said.

 

Unruh said her son filed a report with police in Nantucket, a resort island off the southern coast of Massachusetts, shortly before her news conference.

My dog sticks her nose in folks genitals every day.  No problem.  I could train her not to do it but I like watching the people jump.

I can not help but disbelieve the 18 year old; he knew what was what. I'll bet the kid bragged about the incident to his friends until momma found out there was a pay-day to be had.

Oh, and why would Kevin Spacey want to touch some drunk kids genitals? Sober genitals ok, a drunk genital is a waste of time, money, and liquor, I know mine are.

I hope your dog is not rich or else he might get sued in an American court. If probably won’t be long before American courts hold dog owners responsible each time their dog shoves their head into someone else’s nuts!

I did a little Googling and Spacey has quite the history accosting young men. Considering his current status, I believe he would have used much more discretion and this is indeed a woman using her son to cash in. As a species, we get more and more disgusting each day.

The 'kid' worked at the bar and had just gotten off his shift. You tell me the bartenders and waiters didn't know his age?  If Spacey can be charged then the bar should be too for underage drinking.  The serving liquor to minors should be a lot easier to prove than 'he said' 'he said'.

We probably have a different way of dealing with things in the UK. Once had the same thing happen to me in a public toilet when I was in my late teens. The scumbag went down and out in one.
