A criminal case of alleged sexual assault against actor Kevin Spacey was dropped Wednesday, according to the Nantucket District Court Clerk’s Office in Massachusetts. (THR)
The move came more than a week after the accuser refused to testify about a missing cellphone the defense says contains information that supports the actor’s claims of innocence. (HuffPost / AP)
Spacey had been accused of groping an 18-year-old busboy at the Club Car restaurant in July 2016. He was charged with indecent sexual assault, and a trial was set to be held in the fall. (Variety)
