One of actor Kevin Spacey 91裸聊视频榮 accusers described the Oscar-winner in court Monday as a 91裸聊视频渟lippery, snaky91裸聊视频� predator who good-looking, young men were warned to avoid.

The man, who worked with the American actor when he came to the Old Vic Theatre in London in the early 2000s, said Spacey told him he could introduce him to Hollywood stars. But the man said that word around the playhouse was that he should be careful around Spacey.

91裸聊视频淚t was well known he was up to no good,91裸聊视频� the man said in a video of his police interview played for jurors in Spacey91裸聊视频檚 sexual assault trial. 91裸聊视频淗e was almost right from the get-go grooming me.91裸聊视频�

He said Spacey made him uncomfortable querying him about his sexuality, then became 91裸聊视频渢ouchy feely91裸聊视频� and graduated to aggressive groping when they were alone together.

The man, who cannot be identified under British law, likened Spacey to the villain he plays in the 1995 thriller 91裸聊视频淪e7en91裸聊视频� about a serial killer motivated by the seven deadly sins.

91裸聊视频淗e91裸聊视频檚 a bit like that, a bit creepy,91裸聊视频� the man said in his police interview last year.

Spacey, 63, has pleaded not guilty to a dozen charges involving four men for events that date from 2001 to 2013. The charges include sexual assault, indecent assault and causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.

He could go to prison if convicted, though Spacey told a German magazine that he expects he91裸聊视频檒l be offered work 91裸聊视频渢he moment I am cleared of these charges.91裸聊视频�

The case expected to last four weeks continues Tuesday before a jury of nine men and three women in Southwark Crown Court.

Once one of the biggest actors of his generation, Spacey won an Academy Award for supporting actor in 91裸聊视频淭he Usual Suspects91裸聊视频� in 1995 and best actor Oscar for the 1999 movie 91裸聊视频淎merican Beauty.91裸聊视频� He91裸聊视频檚 also won awards for the stage and small screen.

His career dried up when sexual misconduct allegations against him arose as the #MeToo movement exploded. He was written off the Netflix political thriller 91裸聊视频淗ouse of Cards,91裸聊视频� and cut from the completed film 91裸聊视频淎ll the Money in the World.91裸聊视频�

The actor, who has homes in the U.S. and London, is free on bail. He served as artistic director at the Old Vic from 2003 until 2015.

The man said he reacted with horror when Spacey made first contact by rubbing his neck early in their work relationship in the early 2000s.

91裸聊视频淭he first time that he touched me was just a massive shock,91裸聊视频� he testified. 91裸聊视频淚 just don91裸聊视频檛 like people91裸聊视频檚 hands on me.91裸聊视频�

When he complained to a woman he worked for, she laughed it off and she said, 91裸聊视频淵ou can cope, you can handle it. We all know what he91裸聊视频檚 like,91裸聊视频� he said.

The man said he decided he 91裸聊视频渄idn91裸聊视频檛 want to upset the apple cart91裸聊视频� and got on with his job.

But as Spacey escalated to grabbing the man in the crotch and taking the man91裸聊视频檚 hand and using it to rub his own privates over the pants, he began to dread when Spacey would return to London.

Defense lawyer Patrick Gibbs on cross-examination suggested that the man, who was disguised in court behind a curtain, was confused by the touching and even got a thrill from it.

91裸聊视频淣othing happened between us. He was assaulting me,91裸聊视频� the man said. 91裸聊视频淚 was doing my job and he was the one touching me.91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频�

Gibbs confronted the man with a photo he posted six years ago on social media of him and Spacey in which his arm appears to be around Spacey91裸聊视频檚 back.

91裸聊视频淒id it make you feel sick to stand there side by side?91裸聊视频� Gibbs asked.

The man said he used the image to promote his business.

91裸聊视频淎nyone who does social media would have killed for a picture like that,91裸聊视频� the man said.

He said the final straw for working with Spacey came on a day he was driving him to a celebrity-studded summer gala in 2004 or 2005 when the star violently gripped his crotch and he nearly ran off the road.

91裸聊视频淗e grabbed me really hard and it really hurt,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淚 pushed him against the door and said, 91裸聊视频楧on91裸聊视频檛 do that again or I will knock you out.91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淭hat91裸聊视频檚 such a turn on to me,91裸聊视频� he said Spacey replied. 91裸聊视频淵ou91裸聊视频檙e such a man.91裸聊视频�

Gibbs, however, said that Spacey only attended that party once 91裸聊视频� three or four years earlier than the witness claimed.

The defense lawyer also showed jurors a snapshot the man had sent Spacey of himself as thanks for supporting him on a hike for charity in the Rocky Mountains of North America. The man had also kept a warm letter Spacey had written him after donating 5,000-pound ($6,350) for the trek.

The man said he told a few people in his life about his experience with Spacey, fearing it could affect his career. He said he decided to come forward last year, after Spacey had been charged with assaulting the three other alleged victims in the case.

91裸聊视频淭hat91裸聊视频檚 a big part of it,91裸聊视频� the man said. 91裸聊视频淪trength in numbers, isn91裸聊视频檛 it?91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淥r is it that in 2022, you saw a bandwagon coming past and you decided to hop on board?91裸聊视频� Gibbs asked.

91裸聊视频淭hat91裸聊视频檚 not true at all,91裸聊视频� the man said.

Two decades later, the man said he has never overcome the shame he felt and cannot bring himself to view Spacey91裸聊视频檚 films or TV shows.

91裸聊视频淚 can91裸聊视频檛 stand watching the man. It makes me feel sick,91裸聊视频� the man said.
