Comment on Kevin Spacey cleared of sexually assaulting four men
Emperor@feddit.uk 11 months agoExactly. I don’t know the details but, while he is innocent in the eyes of the law, it isn’t exactly the name-clearing win Spacey seems to think it is.

Isn’t it?
Seems like it is to me.

Well it sounds like this is going to the civil courts, so it all rolls on. If that goes nowhere then yes, he clears his name.

Wouldn’t they need to show damages in civil court?

That was my understanding but I’m not an expert. They might have a good case (don’t these tend to revolve around lost earnings?) or it could have been just said out of spite to rain on his parade or their lawyer reckons Spacey would settle (because what’s a few hundred k when you could be earning millions?). We’ll have to wait and see.
