Kevin Spacey’s accuser denies the defense claim that he made up sex assault, says ‘it was horrific’

LONDON (AP) — A man who says Kevin Spacey subjected him to a torrent of verbal abuse and grabbed his crotch has denied making up the allegations.

Spacey’s lawyer Patrick Gibbs alleged to the accuser on Thursday that many parts of his story were “completely untrue.”

The man replied that the assault was real and he’d kept the “horrific” incident bottled up for years.

The man is one of four who say the two-time Academy Award winner assaulted them in Britain between 2001 and 2013.

The 63-year-old Spacey is standing trial in a London court on 12 charges that include sexual assault and indecent assault.

He denies all the allegations.
