One of Kevin Spacey’s most iconic roles was Joe Doe in the movie “Se7en.” You know, the morality-obsessed killer who puts Gwyneth Paltrow’s head into a box? During the actor’s trial in London for sexual assault, one of his accusers compared him to Doe.
As a part of the trial, the court was shown a pre-recorded interview the police conducted with one of Spacey’s accusers as evidence. His accusers’ names are unknown, since British law prohibits their release. During this interview, the man explained how the actor touched his private parts a dozen times while slapping his butt.
“[Spacey’s] character in ‘Se7en,’ he’s a bit like that,” the man explained. “A bit creepy. Maybe not quite as bad.”
So, basically, one of his alleged victims doesn’t think he’d go on a killing spree guided by the 7 deadly sins. But doesn’t sound like he thinks Spacey is too far off from doing that. While being creepy isn’t a crime, sexual assault certainly is.
Spacey’s trial is still ongoing at Southwark Crown Court. He stands accused of sexually assaulting four different men between 2001 and 2013 while in London. The actor is being charged with 12 counts of sexual assault, indecent assault, and other offenses.
The Oscar winner continues to deny any wrongdoing, though he has also gone to trial more than once in the US. He pleaded not guilty to all charges.
If we find that the bloody cardboard box fits, can we please not acquit?
