“Rent” and “Star Trek: Discovery” actor Anthony Rapp took the stand on Friday afternoon in his 40 million civil lawsuit against Kevin Spacey. Rapp alleges that Spacey made unwanted sexual advances against him when he was 14 and Spacey was 26.
“I was this 14-year-old child, and I had no desire to have any kind of experience like this in my life,” Rapp said.
Rapp claims that the incident took place after a party at Spacey’s New York City loft. He was in Spacey’s bedroom when he realized that all of the other guests had left. There, he alleges, Spacey blocked the door and then lifted him up like a groom carrying his bride over the threshold, before depositing him on the bed.
“It was very sudden,” Rapp said. “I was confused. He pulled his full weight onto my chest. My arms were pinned.”
He added: “I didn’t ask for him to do that.
