Kevin Spacey's accusers are credible and their allegations deserve to be heard with respect, prosecutors told jurors on Wednesday as the actor's sexual assault trial draws to a close.
Spacey, 63, is standing trial at London's Southwark Crown Court on nine charges of sexual offences against four men between 2001 and 2013 in Britain, where he worked from 2003 as artistic director of London's Old Vic theatre.
In her closing speech, prosecutor Christine Agnew described Spacey as "a man who is used to getting his own way". "Society, possibly in 2023, is more sympathetic to women than it is to men in these circumstances," she said. "Men, one might think, are expected to behave like women did for years: 'just put up with it, get on with it, don't worry about it, it is just one of those things'."
