I think he's been arrested/cautioned before for 'cottaging' in Hyde Park (and maybe other places I don't know, there's a lot of rumours about him, I just remember a friend telling me about the Hyde Park thing when I moved to London and that it was common knowledge ) But yeah it's slyly done. He's seen what happened to Weinstein's career so he's trying a different angle, using the gay thing, maybe he thinks he'd get support from the gay community and Hollywood for coming out and that might offset the accusations somewhat? Kinda sickening if that's the case.

I would say re: Jamie's point that I think it's fairly well-documented that he was also a regular coke user so I don't know if that clouded his judgment/awareness of his actions but that is merely conjecture so I wouldn't really stand on it too solidly... the allegation sounds horrible and, as a big fan of Spacey, it's super disappointing to hear.

I didn't know about that, yeah I suppose that could account for him not remembering, although there's still the inviting him to the party, inviting him to the hotel room, just generally the whole description of it isn't like a quick grope or something, but more planned, I dunno.
