Judge Lewis A. Kaplan ruled that the trial date will be October 4, 2022, at 9:30 am and that that date could be subject to any changes warranted by pandemic circumstances. The jury trial is expected to run for two weeks or less.
In the last weeks Spacey has filed a declaration categorically denying every aspect of Rapp’s story:
“I categorically deny [Rapp’s] claim that I sexually assaulted him or otherwise made a ‘sexual advance’ on him. I met [Rapp] several decades ago. I never had a sexual encounter with Mr. Rapp. Nor did I harbor any sexual interest or desire in Mr. Rapp at that time or any time.” He added, “Nor did I have physical contact with Mr. Rapp or any other interaction with him that was for the purpose of sexual gratification of either me or him. Nor did I have any physical contact with Mr. Rapp or any other interaction with him that was for the purpose of degrading or abusing him. Any suggestion otherwise by Mr. Rapp or anyone else is absolutely false.”
