Actor Kevin Spacey has told a jury touching his accuser was "in my mind romantic", as he gave his defence during his trial for sexual assault.
Giving evidence, Mr Spacey told the court he had developed a "flirtatious" relationship over time with the accuser, and that he touched the man in "romantic" and "intimate" ways.Speaking about touching the man, he continued: "It did not happen in a violent, aggressive, painful way.Mr Spacey said the complainant said things like "this is new for me".
"I never said any of the things that he claims I said to him and wouldn't and never have to anyone in my life," he told the court. Asked whether he met the individual again, Mr Spacey said he did not have a strong memory of it "but my instinct tells me that we may have seen each other again".After breaking for lunch, the court heard Mr Spacey's defence against accusations from another complainant who claims he came into contact with the actor while he was working in a pub.
He told the court he did not remember going back to the pub where the complainant worked the next day, but accepted he did based on witness testimony and said it was probably to apologise.Asked what happened when the first accusations were made against him, Mr Spacey said: "My world exploded.
