Kevin Spacey was found not liable in a civil sexual misconduct trial Thursday following more than an hour of deliberations by a jury in a New York federal courtroom. <\/p>\n
“Mr. Spacey is grateful to live in a country where the citizens have a right to trial by impartial jurors who make their decision based on evidence and not rumor or social media,” Spacey said through his lawyer Jennifer Keller in a statement to Fox News digital. “He is deeply thankful to this jury. This was a highly educated group of six women and particular five men, all except one college graduate and most with graduate degrees. Their verdict was swift and decisive. Justice was done today.”<\/p>\n
Jurors reached the verdict shortly before 4 pm in the civil lawsuit. The former “House of Cards” actor was accused of assault, battery and emotional distress stemming from an incident against Anthony Rapp in 1986 when he was 14 years old. <\/p>\n
“We’re very grateful that this American jury saw through these false shortly after,” Keller said the verdict was read. “Spacey is deeply grateful. What’s next is Mr. Spacey is going to be proving that he’s innocent of anything he’s been accused of.”<\/p>\n
The lawsuits sought $40 million in damages.<\/p>\n
