jet. now you might think this dancing is speeded up but it's actually a modern twist on the galleon folk dance. actor kevin spacey was one of the most high profile people to be accused of sexual assault as the made to scandal erupted in hollywood a couple of years ago the allegations against him cost him his lead role in house of cards and then he saw his scenes edited out of the movie all the money in the world and he was replaced by veteran actor christopher plummer now in a dramatic turn the only criminal case so far brought against casey has collapsed after his accuser refused to testify. already it is one of the few criminal cases to be brought after allegations came to light during hollywood's me too sexual assault scandal but now u.s. prosecutors have dropped the case against actor kevin spacey he had been accused of

groping an 18 year old man in a bar in 2016 spacy denied the allegations the charges of indecent assault and battery were dropped after the case collapsed when the accuser refused to testify about a phone he lost the defense had said the missing phone contained text messages that could have proved the actor's innocence in december last year as news broke that speccy was going to be charged the actor released a video spoken in the style of his character frank underwood from the netflix series house of cards in it he urged people not to judge him in a trial by media before facts were proved in a court of law. i know what you. do you want me back. of course believe everything i've just been waiting with bated breath to hear me confess it all but you wouldn't believe the worst without evidence or you would rush to judgment without facts would you while spacey faced sexual misconduct

accusations from several men this was the only one to result in a criminal case but what now for the 2 time oscar winner so are films including the usual suspects as the misconduct allegations against spacey mounted his acting career came to a sudden holt's and he was dropped from house of cards but whether spacey will return to acting is another issue while the criminal case may have been dismissed the court of public opinion may be less willing to forget. my colleague david levitt says mohl this is an interesting situation david the only call cased a date spacey as now being dropped so can he put all this behind him now well the short answer robin is no because this plaintiff in this case that's been dropped is just one of more than 2 dozen men who have brought allegations of sexual misconduct against him and it's not just up to the court of public opinion there are still investigations going on in britain so we may see you see criminal charges brought

against him yet ok the these accusations started in october 27th at almost the same time as the harvey weinstein why has it taken so long for any legal action well part of it is the statute of limitations on sexual crimes in the u.s. and in many countries a lot of these allegations are just too old to prosecute now and another aspect though is that this kind of case is really hard to try because it really relies on credibility of witness testimonies and like in this case when you don't have the main witness testifying the case basically dissolves in this case the plaintiff william little had said spacey got him drunk put his hand down little pants for several minutes which little says that he recorded on his cell phone now all these issues came up with that cell phone little's mother admitted in court that she had deleted some images from his cell phone that were of the plaintiff smoking

marijuana and so on things she said had nothing to do with the case but there were questions that maybe something else might have been deleted from that phone and in the end william little didn't testify because he was afraid that he might incriminate himself so the the prosecution's case basically dissolved ok what does this mean for space she's acting career well in light of this news a lot of space the fans on twitter have been saying bring him back it's such a waste of talent not to have him spacey for his part. also seems to think that he's coming back i think it may be possible but right now in this post me 2 climate it's hard to imagine i mean things have changed so much if you think back a few years ago to woody allen and the sexual abuse allegations against him the prevailing attitude then was well we don't really know let's give him the benefit of the doubt let's let him continue making his movies and now we've done a $180.00 to this point where it's with kevin spacey and with jeffrey tambor from

the amazon series transparent the attitude is this person is toxic get them off this we don't need a court conviction ok this case is done harvey weinstein is finally going to be tried this september what can we expect well weinstein is pleading not guilty on charges of rape of one woman and sexual assault against another he just got a new legal team last week as new boy or donna rosato is an outspoken critic of me too she says that women need to be responsible for their own actions to which one of the accuser's lawyers said well when will weinstein be held responsible for his actions weinstein is currently out on a $1000000.00 bail he may be acquitted but hollywood has something clear signal that he's not making any more movies ok david as always thank you for your insights would be interesting to see if kevin spacey does return to all screens and the times. post america the johnson publishing company was almost
