Kevin Spacey cleared of sex offences.

Does that mean i can watch K-Pax again?

It's about as daft as comparing it to bull fighting in the other direction, but I don't know why you brought it up anyway, the fact that they're not hunting down people in the street who are weird with their dog has fuck all to do with the validity of their opinion on someone who supported bull fighting.

Might even be able to bring this back out the cupboard of shame

Kevin Spacey cleared of sex offences.

after 6 years.

Didn’t James Martin used to have his own dedicated thread on here?

Appears he is still a bit of a cunt

He did iirc. Maybe there's a super injunction around its deletion? @Velocio ?

Difficult to know what to think. Was it a homophobic witch hunt, or yet another illustration of how difficult it is to prove sexual assault?

This chap was just cleared of rape charges after 17 years in prison…

Been reading this story today, some serious questions to be answered from the authorities.

JFC. I watched a silly film the other week about this kind of thing but this is atrocious. No DNA evidence, just he was in the area and looked similar? That's fucked. Also, the new suspect hasn't been charged? WTAF?

He didn't even look similar though , so many differences between him and the original description of the attacker. The attacker had a shaved chest and he had a rug, the victim scratched his cheek (no marks), different height, the attacker didn't have tattoos, the list is frightening.

He was picked out of a line-up but the evidence clearing him was enormous.

I know someone who worked at the Old Vic and someone else who was in the cast of One flew over the cuckoo's nest with Christian Slater at the time and seems it was common knowledge you were not to be alone with Spacey under any circumstances

Proper fucked. How did it take 17 years to clear up though? That's the most fucked part.

I'm keeping my long hair. At least when I do some illegal shit they'll deffo know it's me and vice versa.

Fucked system and corrupt police may not have helped

Family Guy had Kevin Spacey jokes back in 2005. It seems 'something' was common knowledge for a long time... https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/how-family-guy-called-kevin-spacey-brett-ratner-way-before-metoo-1073637/

I know someone who worked at the Old Vic

Aye, I know someone who was working there when he was putting on Richard III. One of the actors had a very difficult time and his gf could only come visit when Spacey wasn't around or there would be tantrums. Whatever the truth of the crimes he's just been cleared of, he's definitely been responsible for some #metoo levels of shit.

I also can’t fathom how it took 17 years to be able to prove it wasn’t him. And also why he was convicted in the first place…

I think GMP might be a factor here..

/puts k-pax dvd back on the shelf

Apologies, I didn’t mean to cause a furore.

Just to clarify, we went to watch a bullfight in Alicante 11 years ago (I checked the date). I never said I support bull fighting, it’s undoubtedly cruel and I personally think it should be banned, but I can also appreciate the art in it and I find the history fascinating.

Ironically you're probably best placed to make a moral judgement on these archaic Spanish practises as you've actually attended a bullfight. Looking forward to the reaction of the suburban valued moralists..

suburban valued moralists..

That sound like something Nigel Farage would said.

My ex was around old vic for about 2 years during 2008 - 10. Didn't see the guy much themselves but was obviously around folk that were full time, a few straight guys and two openly gay guys, none were apparently bothered by the guy. But none were exactly enamored with him, maybe not a sociopath but not an easy person to work with or around.

That guy is basically the farage of lfgss.
