The story only works if you invent a wall and a door, according to the lawyer. Anthony Rapp's accusations also coincide with a scene in the Broadway play Precious Sons, in which he starred. The many contradictions caused jurors to doubt his credibility.

However, this is not the first case in which Kevin Spacey has had to stand trial. In the UK, he was accused of four assaults against three men between 2005 and 2013. In July he pleaded not guilty in London.
