Text messages between Kevin Spacey's accuser and his girlfriend reveal he 'grabbed' his penis '8 times'
In a new development in the Kevin Spacey case, a Nantucket District Court has released court documents that show graphic texts between the accuser and his girlfriend, from the night when Spacey allegedly sexually assaulted the boy. In the text messages obtained from his phone, the accuser says that Spacey had been hovering around him all night and had grabbed his penis, not once but eight times. The 18-year-old boy also said that Spacey had his number and wanted him to go with him.
The texts are as follows, according to Fox News:
Accuser: "like he's hangin around me in the bar. He got my number and asked me to come out with him"
Girlfriend: "are you kidding" "what" "sounds like he's hitting on you"
Accuser: "i think he is" "He's grabbing my leg and sh--"
Girlfriend: "are you trying to tell me something? Being gay is okay!!!"
Accuser: "I'm not gay" "But I think spacey is"
Girlfriend: "Hahaha" "Uhg literally so jealous" "Pls take a selfie with him at some point"
Accuser: "No I'm serious no" "Now" "He's totally gay"
Girlfriend: "Wait what..." "For real?"
Accuser: "He's grabbed my d--- like 8 times"
Girlfriend: "He's p---ed I'm texting!"
Accuser: "I told him I had a gf"
Girlfriend: "I thought you were serious" "Taking advantage of my gullible-ness" uhg haha "Haha tell him the gf says back off" [emoji]
Accuser: "No I'm serious" "He's gay" "He pulled my zipper down" "And he invited me to his house" "I'll talk to u later"
Girlfriend: "What the f--- is happening?" [emojis] "Have fun but not too much fun if you know what I mean" [emoji]
Accuser: "Jesus Christ he reached down my pants" "Help" "No this is Kevin ducking spacey" "He's gay" "Hes buying me yet another drink" "Help me" "He's gotten me so many" "I'm drunk" "Help" "Molly" "He grabbed my d---" "Keving spacey is gay" "Check snap" "seriously help" "I'm gonna get the pic" "I got the autographs and a hell of a stout" "Story" "Help me"
Spacey's defense, however, has argued that the messages have been chosen in such a way that they make Spacey look guilty. "To be sure, the screenshots of the text messages exchanged between (the accuser's girlfriend) and (the accuser) on the night in question are incomplete," attorney Alan Jackson argues in a contemporaneous filing, reported CNN. "There appear to be intervening time periods between each of these texts. The screenshots produced by the Commonwealth suggest that additional communications on (the accuser's) cell phone will reveal the truth: (the accuser) concocted and exaggerated elements of a story to impress his friends," he said.
The phone, from which the texts were obtained is also seemingly missing. Judge Thomas Barrett has asked for the phone to be turned over so that a proper data analysis can be done. Prosecutors told the judge that they had obtained the information and returned it. The police said that they had returned the phone to the family. But, the accuser, his family, and their attorney said that they do not have the device and they do not remember being given the device.
"Access to the underlying databases is necessary to perform a proper analysis, including whether messages may have been deleted or to attempt recovery of deleted data," defense expert Sankara Shanmugam wrote in an affidavit. Judge Barett has asked that the phone be turned over until July 8 and if it isn't found the accuser and his family have to testify in court about it.
The Oscar-winning actor has been accused of sexually assaulting more than 15 people. The above incident allegedly took place in July 2016 at the Club Car restaurant and bar on the island of Nantucket. He has pleaded not guilty. In October 2017, actor Anthony Rapp alleged that Spacey, while appearing intoxicated, made a sexual advance toward him in 1986, when Rapp was 14 and Spacey was 26. Spacey later apologized for the incident on Twitter and said that he didn't remember the incident.
