Kevin Spacey dodged another set of misconduct claims on Thursday, when a Manhattan federal court jury cleared him in a lawsuit alleging he sexually abused a 14-year-old boy in 1986.
Jurors deliberated for a little over an hour before siding with the disgraced Oscar-winner over plaintiff Anthony Rapp, finding the latter had failed to prove Spacey made unwanted sexual advances and inappropriately touched him 36 years ago.
