Kevin Spacey Accuser Drops Lawsuit Against Actor

Associated Press

   BOSTON - A young man who says Kevin Spacey groped him in a Nantucket
   bar in 2016 has dropped his lawsuit against the Oscar-winning actor.

   Mitchell Garabedian, a lawyer for the man, announced in an email Friday
   that the lawsuit filed June 26 in Nantucket Superior Court has been
   voluntarily dismissed. No reason was provided either by Garabedian or
   in the court filing. Garabedian said he would have no further comment.

   An email was left Friday requesting comment from Alan Jackson, Spacey's
   attorney.

   Garabedian's client, the son of Boston TV anchor Heather Unruh, alleged
   Spacey got him drunk and sexually assaulted him at the Club Car
   restaurant where the then 18-year-old man worked.

   Spacey still faces a criminal charge. He has pleaded not guilty to
   indecent assault and battery in January.
