This just in: Prosecutors in Los Angeles say they are reviewing a sexual assault accusation against Kevin Spacey that stems all the way back to the early ’90s.
Police have officially filed evidence with the Los Angeles District Attorney concerning an incident between the disgraced actor and another man that occurred in West Hollywood in October 1992.

The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department says it first opened the investigation last December, and kicked it up to the DA’s office for review just a few days ago.

No other details about the allegation have been released and it’s unclear whether California’s statute of limitations on prosecuting criminal sexual assault will apply. The statue is normally 10 years.
This latest news comes nearly six months after Spacey was first accused by Anthony Rapp of making a sexual advance on him when Rapp was just 14 and Spacey was 26.

A string of other accusations by other men quickly followed, including one by former TV news anchor Heather Unruh who alleged that Spacey sexually assaulted her son in 2016.
Last November, Unruh claimed Spacey “stuck his hand down my son’s pants and grabbed his genitals” at a bar in Nantucket. Unruh maintained that the touching was not consensual.
Spacey has since issued an “absolute” denial of all the other allegations besides those made by Rapp. He was subsequently dropped by his agency, CAA, his publicist, and Netflix.
A spokesperson for Spacey has declined to comment on the latest LAPD investigation.

The LA case is 16 years old 10 + past the prosecute by date and the complainant is was an adult at the time.

I doubt he’s only into underage guys. Men have come forward with “Spacey encounters” that took place in their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. Rather, it seems Spacey needs a subversive element to his sexual experiences to get genuine satisfaction out of them. That’s more a sexual megalomaniac than pure ephebophilia/hebephilia. He needs the guy to be underage, to identify as “straight”, to be a stranger, to be a subordinate, or he has to assault them or surprise them with his sexual advances. There are plenty of guys out there like that (and quite a few women), especially in the entertainment industry. Sex and often times relationships are less about the other person and more about the situation and the desire to feel powerful/used/subersive.

I read in another article about Spacey that a 14 year old came forward with the allegation that he and Spacey had a sexual relationship for a year, in New York. Spacey was 22, the young man was 14 going on 15. This alleged incident would be two or three years before Rapp’s assault. Under New York law, Spacey’s alleged ongoing sexual encounters with this 14 year old victim is a statutory offense and could qualify a charge of “Criminal sexual act- second degree,” with a sentence of up to 7 years in jail if convicted. There is no statute of limitations on this charge in New York.

All cases are being submitted to the LA DA, regardless if they are not prosecutable.
This is one of the non prosecutable cases. It’s more of PR for the Police.

This is good. He’s been found guilty online, let’s see if the allegations can hold up in court where evidence is needed.

You see, that is why Spacey was so good as a politician. He is like them in real life! To him, other people are mere objects to be controlled and exploited.
