Kevin Spacey Sexual Assault Lawsuit: Man Testifies Actor Made Advance On Him When He Was Only 16

Rapp says the man gave a deposition under oath where he spilled all the details. Dawes claims he was 16 when he met a 29-year-old Spacey while working at a local theater in Connecticut.

The actor allegedly invited Dawes and his friend over to watch Chinatown at his apartment. Once they arrived, Dawes claims Spacey was playing gay pornography. He claims Spacey made cocktails and tried to make a “sexual advance on him.”

“At one point, Spacey put his hand on Mr. Dawes’ left leg, just above his knee, for 30-45 seconds,” the court docs read. Rapp’s attorney asked Dawes what happened when he was sitting on the couch with Spacey.

He testified, “Mostly chatting, and at one point his hand was on my leg. You know, I thought it was mildly uncomfortable. I did not, you know, feel threatened, but I thought it was a kind of, you know, probing of a sexual nature to see how comfortable I was with that. I don’t remember really reacting in any way. I just kind of – just kind of froze, just sort of noticed it and continued on."

Dawes is straight and currently lives in Brazil with his wife and children. “Mr. Dawes repeatedly testified, he came forward because he felt it was the right thing to do, not because he felt pressured in any way,” Rapp said.

During his depo, he explained his reasoning for speaking out, “Basically because I felt that it was the right thing to do. I thought that, you know, while this experience I would not characterize as, you know, particularly grievous or traumatic for myself, you know, I think the details of this – this incident may be salient in, you know – I thought the information might be relevant and valuable to this trial, this case.”
