Townflex Entertainment News – Hollywood star, Kevin Spacey who was in court on Thursday, July 13, for his s3xual assault trial in south London admitted to the UK court that he use to be a ‘big flirt’ but never once indulged in any form of any “aggressive” behavior.
The Southwark Crown Court has earlier heard the testimony of four men, who cannot be named for legal reasons, accusing Spacey of s3xual offenses between 2001 and 2013.

“It was gentle… and it was, in my mind, romantic,” Spacey, wearing a dark suit and glasses, told the jury.
According to Spacey, he asserted that there existed a mutually flirtatious rapport between him and the accuser. In his testimony, he described himself as someone who engages in playful banter and characterized himself as a “big flirt.”
However, he also acknowledged that the alleged victim had explicitly communicated his lack of interest in advancing their relationship any further. Spacey, at 63 years old, emphasized this point during his statement.
Spacey said he felt “crushed” after the allegations were made against him, saying it was like a “stab in the back”.
Asked about the testimony of another alleged victim, who accused Spacey of making crude remarks at a celebrity event before grabbing his crotch, Spacey described them as “madness”.
“I never said any of the things that he claims I said to him and wouldn´t and never have to anyone in my life,” Spacey said.
