AT LEAST 2 OF THE COMPLAINANTS HAVE LODGED COMPENSATION CLAIMS AGAINST sPACEY WITH ONE OFFERING TO REMOVE THEMSELVES from the court case for settlement.

It sounds like Spacey was a bloody pest - we have all met them - but this is a new class of retrospective crime that is aimed at the famous.
It just doesn't happen to the non-famous for this level of alleged offence.
I was groped a fair few times when younger. Imagine how my friends and family would react now if I told them I had reported the guy or gal who pinched my bum 20 years ago at a party to Police...
They would assume I was off my rocker and probably having a breakdown...
I was groped a lot during work Wyot by both sexes, I actually hated it. Especially when carrying glasses, a nasty accident could of happened if I dropped the glasses.
Like you said Spacey is probably pain in the ass.
How the heck was American Beauty popular?

Surely the guy would of tried to punch Spacey or shoved him away?
Glengarry Glen Ross is still an underrated film.

Unless they only use it when the "victim" is female.
