American actor Anthony Rapp and another unidentified man have sued fellow interpreter Kevin Spacey for sexual assault in two different incidents that allegedly took place decades ago, when they were 14-year-old children, local media reported on Wednesday.

Rapp, now 48 years old, in 2017 publicly accused Spacey of initiating sexual attempts at him in an event that allegedly took place in 1986, an allegation that now comes to court thanks to a recent New York law allowing women to Victims of child sexual abuse sue years later.

According to court documents, cited by the media specialized in entertainment Page Six, Rapp was a 14-year-old child actor in a Broadway play when he met the protagonist of "House of Cards" in 1986 and he invited him to a party in his Manhattan apartment.

Spacey, who was then 27 years old, "intentionally and voluntarily, and without the consent of the complainant, made an unwanted sexual advance" towards Rapp by grabbing his rear, "lifting him onto a bed and lying" on his body, after which the boy actor ran to a bathroom and shortly after left the place.

The other man who has denounced Spacey, identified as CD, allegedly met the veteran actor in an acting class taught by him in New York's Westchester County in 1981, when he was 12 years old, and two years later he was abused by him. .

According to the lawsuit, Spacey invited CD to his apartment and had sexual relations with him, an incident that was repeated "on different occasions" and that ended when he "tried to sodomize" the complainant, who "managed to free himself and fled" from the place.

Both Rapp and the unidentified man allege that they suffered emotional damage from those encounters and are seeking compensation.

The accusation of the interpreter of "Star Trek: Discovery" in 2017 shook the career of Spacey, who claimed not to remember the episode but dedicated "the most sincere apology" and took advantage of the same statement made through Twitter to openly declare himself homosexual .

Winner of two Oscars for "Habitual Suspects" (1995) and "American Beauty" (1999) and considered one of the best performers of his generation, Spacey saw his career finally collapse after other accusations of sexual assault against him that came out light thanks to the momentum of the #MeToo movement.

Two cases came to court in 2019, but did not progress: in Los Angeles, a masseur reported him for a sexual assault allegedly occurred in 2016 but died before the prosecution filed charges;

While in Massachusetts, a young man who had accused him of another assault in 2016 dropped the charges.
