A judge has dropped a lawsuit against shamed actor Kevin Spacey after an anonymous accuser failed to disclose their identity to the court.
According to court documents obtained by Fox News, Judge Lewis Kaplan has officially dropped a lawsuit against Spacey, 61, after an accuser known as C.D. never shared his name with the court. The news outlet reports C.D. was given ten days to add his name to a complaint against the actor. The judge let the alleged victim know he would not be able to move forward without his name being publicized.
Unwilling to disclose his name, ten days later, he sent a letter to the court letting them know that he wouldn’t go public with his name and that he understood the result of his decision. C.D.’s move led the judge to close the case this Thursday.
The letter, which was sent in March, came from the alleged victim’s attorney, stating C.D. felt “extreme anxiety and psychological distress at even the thought of being required to proceed publicly.”
The man claimed in his complaint that he met Spacey at one of the actor’s acting classes before he was allegedly abused. In his lawsuit, he asked for $40 million in damages.
