Kevin Spacey Used ‘Enormous Power Balance’ to Get His Way, Prosecutor Says in Closing Arguments
Kevin Spacey’s sexual assault case involves an “enormous power imbalance” and a man who is “used to getting his own way,” prosecutor Christine Agnew told jurors this afternoon as the actor’s trial in London began to wind down.
Jurors heard Agnew’s closing arguments on Wednesday, which came after a series of harrowing testimonies over the past four weeks from Spacey’s alleged victims. The actor has pleaded not guilty to nine charges of sexual offenses, including multiple counts of sexual and indent assault and one count of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.
Agnew suggested in her closing speech that the trial was a result of Spacey’s “aggressive, oppressive, and intimidatory behavior.”
