Give him a break, people!


Just because he's a paedophile it doesn't necessarily mean he's gay.

All we really know is that he was probably drunk.

He's not a pedophile, in the technical sense of the word. But he is a creep who appears to have aggressively gone after a minor...to the point of getting physical.

That's appealingly distasteful in its own right...but I wouldn't classify Spacey as a pedophile at this point. Anthony Rapp was a teen when...um, "handled" by Mr. Spacey. He wasn't a child.

(It's a bit difficult talking about this incident, because I don't know if it's classified as an assault, an unwanted physical advance...what? Rapp says Spacey picked him up, lay him on a bed, got on top of him and pressed himself against Rapp.)

Whatever it was, it was not okay.

THIS is Anthony Rapp's original news story (though he also discussed it in a 2001 interview without naming names)
