The disgraced actor was arraigned on a charge of felony indecent assault and battery during a hearing at Nantucket District Court. "By reporting the sexual assault, my client is a determined and encouraging voice for those victims not yet ready to report being sexually assaulted," said lawyer Mitchell Garabedian, who has represented hundreds of clergy sexual abuse victims. It's the first criminal case brought against Spacey, 59, since other allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced against him in 2017. The Associated Press does not typically identify people alleging sexual assault. His first accuser, actor Anthony Rapp, said Spacey climbed on top of him on a bed when Rapp was 14 and Spacey 26.
