In October, he was found not liable in the sex abuse lawsuit brought by Anthony Rapp. At the time, Spacey's attorney said she was "very grateful to the jury for seeing through these false allegations."
Rapp took to Twitter, saying he was "deeply grateful for the opportunity to have my case heard before a jury, and I thank the members of the jury for their service."
