Kevin Spacey sexual abuse accuser must reveal his identity, judge rules

Published



An anonymous man who said Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey sexually abused him in the 1980s must reveal his identity in order to continue with the multimillion-dollar lawsuit, a judge ruled.

Manhattan U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan disallowed the plaintiff, known only as “C.D.,” from continuing in the suit on Monday, which was filed in September and seeks $40 million in damages. Kaplan added that his anonymity was biased against Spacey’s defense and limited the ability of those close to the actor to come forward and aid in his defense, according to the Associated Press.
