Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey is facing another lawsuit alleging sexual assault.
A New York judge on Monday denied Spacey's motion to dismiss actor Anthony Rapp's 2020 lawsuit, Law and Crime reported.
Judge Lewis A. Kaplan ruled that a jury should decide allegations of abuse in the 1980s, court documents show.
The now 50-year-old Rapp explains that the now 62-year-old Spacey was abusive at a party in his New York home in 1986.
At that time, Rapp, who later became known for the musical "Rent" and the TV series "Star Trek: Discovery", was 14 years old.
With his civil suit against Spacey he wants to win damages.
The two-time Oscar winner ("The Usual Suspects", "American Beauty") has denied the allegations.
Further procedure in Great Britain
Spacey was reported in the UK at the end of May for sexually assaulting three men.
The British public prosecutor's office in London said there were three cases between 2005 and 2013.
Some of the acts are said to have been committed in the Lambeth area of London.
It's home to the Old Vic Theater, which Spacey was Artistic Director from 2004 to 2015.
The actor denies the allegations and plans to appear in court in the UK.
Allegations of sexual assault and harassment were raised against Spacey in the fall of 2017 in the course of the MeToo debate.
Several plaintiffs went to court, but some lawsuits were dropped or dismissed because of the statute of limitations.
Crew members of the Netflix series "House of Cards" also accused Spacey of sexual harassment.
The streaming giant then canceled the collaboration with him.
Spacey, who denies all allegations, fell out of favor in the industry and experienced a dramatic career crash.
