Lawsuit against Kevin Spacey dismissed by judge after accuser refused to identify themselves

A judge officially dismissed a lawsuit against Kevin Spacey brought on by an anonymous accuser after they failed to disclose their identity to the court.

Fox News can confirm that Judge Lewis Kaplan has officially dismissed the lawsuit brought on by an unnamed accuser known as “C.D.” who accused the 61-year-old “House of Cards” actor of sexually abusing him in the 1980s when he was underage.

According to court documents viewed by Fox News, Spacey’s attorneys sought to dismiss the case entirely after the judge ruled on May 3 that C.D. could not move forward with his lawsuit if he remained unwilling to disclose his identity.

C.D. was given 10 days to amend his complaint and include his name. According to the court documents, on the tenth day, he issued a letter informing the court that he would not be disclosing his identity and that he understood the consequences of that decision, leading to the judge to officially dismiss the case Thursday.

In an early March letter to the judge, attorney Peter Saghir said C.D. feels “extreme anxiety and psychological distress at even the thought of being required to proceed publicly” and had reluctantly decided to drop his claims if Kaplan ordered him to proceed publicly.

The man had reportedly met Spacey in the actor’s suburban New York acting class before the alleged abuse, according to the lawsuit, which sought more than $40 million in damages.

At the time of his initial ruling on the matter, Kaplan said C.D.’s privacy interest did not outweigh the presumption of open judicial proceedings and the prejudice to Spacey’s defense that would occur if he could proceed anonymously. Individuals with information that might support Spacey also would not know to come forward, the judge added at the time.

C.D. since the 1990s had spoken to an unknown number of people about his claims against Spacey and had apparently cooperated for a New York Magazine article that appeared on Vulture in November 2017, Kaplan said. – Source
