Kevin Spacey has been accused of allegedly sexually assaulting an 18-year-old boy in the summer of 2016 in Massachusetts.

Heather Unrah and her lawyer, Mitchell Garabedian held a press conference on Wednesday to claim that Spacey had assaulted her son; Unrah was joined by her daughter.

‘In July 2016, actor Kevin Spacey sexually assaulted my son, it happened late night inside the club bar on Nantucket Island,’ said Unrah.

‘My son was a star struck 18-year-old young man who had no idea that he was about to become his next victim. My son was not of age to drink alcohol, he told Kevin Spacey he was of age. But whether he was of age or not Kevin Spacey had no right to assault him, there was no consent.




‘Kevin Spacey bought him drink after drink after drink and when my son was drunk Spacey made his move.’

‘Spacey stuck his hand inside my son’s pants and grabbed his genitals,’ said Unrah. ‘He was intoxicated and Spacey was insisting he came with him to a private after house party.’

She went on to say that when Spacey went to the bathroom another woman approached her son and told him to run as she had seen he was ‘shaken’; Unrah has asked that the witness come forward to help with their case.

Unrah added that her son did not report the crime at the time as he was worried about the reaction he would receive, but Unrah added: ‘The climate in the country has changed thanks to the brave women and all victims who have come forward against Harvey Weinstein and against all sexual abusers.’

She told press that she did believe Spacey deserved to go to prison.

‘It is well within the civil statute of limitations and also the criminal,’ said Garabeidan.

‘My client did speak to the Nantucket police department and they are conducting an investigation.’

Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Spacey for comment.

The story is different to many other allegations made against Spacey in recent weeks as it took place only last year; many of the previous claims took place in the 1980s and 1990s although Harry Dreyfuss, the son of Richard Dreyfuss, claimed that he was assaulted at the age of 18 in 2008.

Spacey has now been accused of sexual harassment by over ten individuals.

House Of Cards, his landmark television series, has been dropped by Netflix and the actor’s biopic of Gore Vidal has been shelved, which was also made with Netflix. The accusations, some of which include rape, began with the actor Anthony Rapp, who alleges that Spacey abused him at a house party in the Eighties.
