Overview

  • Prosecution alleged Spacey groped multiple men in similar ways, arguing it showed pattern of predatory behavior.
  • Defense claimed three accusers fabricated stories and fourth misconstrued a "clumsy pass" as assault.
  • Spacey testified relationships were consensual; Elton John disputed claims about one accuser's presence at a party.
  • In closing, defense said fame shouldn't make consensual sex criminal and accused #MeToo of spurring false allegations.
  • Jury now has the case and will determine if Spacey is guilty of charges including sexual assault and causing forced penetration.
