- 1:43Speaker 1: after all, we shared everything you and I. I told
- 1:46Speaker 1: you my deepest, darkest secrets. I showed you exactly what
- 1:51Speaker 1: people are capable of. I shocked you with my honesty.
- 1:55Speaker 1: But mostly I challenged you and made you think, and

- 2:11Speaker 1: I know what you want. You want me back. Actually,
- 2:17Speaker 1: what I want is you to stop shoving your hand

- 2:25Speaker 1: I really want to find out the truth behind the
- 2:28Speaker 1: stories of now nearly thirty people that claim superstar Kevin
- 2:33Speaker 1: Spacey sexually assaulted them. Listen if you don't believe this
- 2:38Speaker 1: one guy, which I actually do, the teen boy at
- 2:43Speaker 1: the car club in Nantucket that was the bartender. Listen
- 2:49Speaker 1: the old Vic Theater in London, where he was working.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Spacey was working for a couple of years, had to
- 2:54Speaker 1: open a hotline for all the people complaining about Kevin's
- 3:00Speaker 1: Spacey mistreating them. Okay, you know there is strength in numbers.
- 3:04Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're all telling the truth, but there
- 3:06Speaker 1: is strength in numbers. At some point you gotta say,
- 3:08Speaker 1: are they all lying or is it just Kevin Spacey lying. Well,
- 3:13Speaker 1: you just heard actor Kevin Spacey's YouTube video quote let
- 3:18Speaker 1: me be Frank, and it seems that space is reprising
- 3:22Speaker 1: his role of Frank Underwood in the Netflix series House
- 3:26Speaker 1: of Cards. I don't know, but there ain't no coinkie dink.
- 3:31Speaker 1: There is no coincidence. In criminal law, he dropped this
- 3:34Speaker 1: video right as felony charges of sex misconduct were announced.
- 3:39Speaker 1: I'manancy Grace. This is Crime Stories, and in Nancy Land,
- 3:44Speaker 1: there is no rich or poor. Everybody gets grilled. Well done,
- 3:50Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us here at Crime Stories.
- 3:53Speaker 1: What an all star panel. Dave Max, syndicated talk show
- 3:55Speaker 1: host Karen Start, renowned York psychologists, joining us from Manhattan.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Judge lawyer Ashley Wilcot found at Ashley Wilcot dot com.
- 4:04Speaker 1: And Joseph Scott Morgan, forensics expert author of Blood Beneath
- 4:09Speaker 1: My Feet on Amazon. Now that's certainly something I want
- 4:12Speaker 1: to cuddle up to at night, blood beneath my feet
- 4:15Speaker 1: and Professor Forensics at Jacksonville State University, Dave Mac. Dave
- 4:20Speaker 1: Macnow keep your opinions out of this. Just don't be
- 4:23Speaker 1: jealous at Kevin Spacey as it found you at a
- 4:26Speaker 1: bar and stuck his hand down your pants. Don't be jealous.
- 4:28Speaker 1: All right, Let's try to keep a clear head about this.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Let's start with the case at hand. Okay, forget all
- 4:35Speaker 1: the so called similar transactions. That hurts me as much
- 4:39Speaker 1: as it hurts you, Ashley Wilcot. We both have sons
- 4:42Speaker 1: and the last thing we want is one of them
- 4:43Speaker 1: to be on the job and get sex molested. Okay,
- 4:46Speaker 1: Let's just start not with all of the other guys
- 4:49Speaker 1: that claimed this happened to them, okay, because we don't
- 4:52Speaker 1: really know all those facts. Although last night I did
- 4:55Speaker 1: make a huge flowchart for today, Let's start with the
- 4:58Speaker 1: case at hand. We don't even, all right, you know,
- 5:02Speaker 1: know the victim's full name, but we do know who
- 5:07Speaker 1: his mother is. His mother is an on air TV personality.
- 5:11Speaker 1: She's a newscaster in her neck of the woods. Her
- 5:14Speaker 1: name is Heather Unrue. She's the one that's been doing
- 5:17Speaker 1: the talking for her teen boy because he has been uh,
- 5:21Speaker 1: let's just say us all sex attack victims are has
- 5:24Speaker 1: remained anonymous, although I'm sure everybody knows who he is.
- 5:27Speaker 1: Start at the beginning, Dave Mac, tell me what happened,
- 5:29Speaker 1: according to an alleged victim. All right, Heather Unru's son
- 5:34Speaker 1: was eighteen years old and he was actually a bus
- 5:37Speaker 1: boy in this restaurant bar in Boston. Eighteen boy, Yes, man,
- 5:44Speaker 1: eighteen year old? You can you can work at a bar,
- 5:46Speaker 1: Ashley Willcot, you're the juvenile judge. How can a teen
- 5:49Speaker 1: an eighteen year old work at a bar? I didn't
- 5:51Speaker 1: think they could drink till they were twenty one? Is
- 5:53Speaker 1: that wrong? Well, no, they could work as bus boys
- 5:56Speaker 1: though they can work there, even though they can't drink
- 5:58Speaker 1: until twenty one. They could absolutely work there. And in fact,
- 6:00Speaker 1: a number of eighteen year olds and young kids I
- 6:03Speaker 1: call them, even though they're not under the age of eighteen,
- 6:06Speaker 1: worked there as bus boys. As a matter of fact.
- 6:08Speaker 1: You know what's interesting. Although I said I wasn't in
- 6:10Speaker 1: talk about it, I just want to point out that
- 6:12Speaker 1: I've try investigated. Dave Mac, first of all, ask you
- 6:15Speaker 1: thank you for that, because I didn't know that. My
- 6:19Speaker 1: forte is felonies, not misdemeanor, under age working at a bar, crimes,
- 6:26Speaker 1: But they're they're important. I'm not belittling those crimes. I'm
- 6:29Speaker 1: just not as familiar with them as I am with,
- 6:31Speaker 1: you know, murder, rape, child molestation in Arson. But question.
- 6:37Speaker 1: I was reading and studying all the other claims, and
- 6:41Speaker 1: many of them were eighteen to twenty years old that
- 6:45Speaker 1: worked in bars and restaurants. I'm just pointing out that
- 6:49Speaker 1: that is a very strong similarity in these cases. Okay,
- 6:52Speaker 1: Dave mac back to Unrus and Son, go ahead, Okay,
- 6:56Speaker 1: And there's a whole lot of other similarities too, but
- 6:58Speaker 1: just staying with this one. Heather andru Son eighteen years
- 7:01Speaker 1: old at the time this happened. He was working and
- 7:04Speaker 1: met Kevin Spacey, was a bit star struck. After he
- 7:07Speaker 1: got off work. Kevin Spacey, because he was a celebrity,
- 7:10Speaker 1: was buying this eighteen year old alcoholic drinks at the bar.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Over a seventy minute long period, he consumed a number
- 7:19Speaker 1: of alcoholic beverages and that's when the assault allegedly occurred.
- 7:24Speaker 1: Kevin Spacey stuck his hands down the pants of this
- 7:28Speaker 1: eighteen year old boy after he applied him with enough
- 7:31Speaker 1: alcohol to render him not able to put much of
- 7:35Speaker 1: a fight. H Dave Mac. I want to go to
- 7:37Speaker 1: Joe Scott Morgan, Joseph Scott Morgan, as he has corrected
- 7:41Speaker 1: me on multiple occasions. Joseph Scott Morgan, you hear what
- 7:46Speaker 1: Mac just said that he applied him with drinks. You
- 7:49Speaker 1: have a change son about this age. And you know
- 7:54Speaker 1: I've said, well who can make you drink? Well, think
- 7:58Speaker 1: about it. If your son and I don't know who
- 8:00Speaker 1: his you know, idol might be other than you and
- 8:02Speaker 1: his mom. Of course, you know, maybe if my son
- 8:06Speaker 1: saw you know, he just watched aunt Man, all right,
- 8:10Speaker 1: maybe if he saw aunt Man, that actor or or
- 8:13Speaker 1: somebody he knows from TV. We watched Murdoch Mysteries. Maybe
- 8:16Speaker 1: if he saw William Murdoch, he would sit there and
- 8:20Speaker 1: you know, just go along. I can just see this kid,
- 8:24Speaker 1: well eighteen and Spacey Bienham one drink after the next,
- 8:28Speaker 1: and he just says they're playing the piano and they're
- 8:31Speaker 1: all sitting around having a good time, and he's texting
- 8:34Speaker 1: his girlfriend saying, hey, look I'm a Kevin Spacey. Can
- 8:38Speaker 1: you just see that unfolding Joe Scott Morgan. Yeah, I
- 8:41Speaker 1: can you know, particularly at eighteen, your starstruck this guy,
- 8:45Speaker 1: you know, Spacey has been well, he's eighteen years old.
- 8:50Speaker 1: Spacey's been in his life this entire time in the media,
- 8:53Speaker 1: and he's you know, he's a famous actor, I mean
- 8:55Speaker 1: and a damn good actor too. You know, you look back,
- 8:58Speaker 1: but it's hard to see separate, you know, reality from
- 9:02Speaker 1: that fantasy world. You know, I don't really know. Did
- 9:07Speaker 1: you just say d A M N potty mouth? Oh me? No? Okay,
- 9:15Speaker 1: I know, now, okay, So what about that what he's saying?
- 9:18Speaker 1: Karen Stark, New York Psychologists joining us. You can find
- 9:21Speaker 1: her at Karen Stark dot com. Karen, I mean grown adults.
- 9:25Speaker 1: And remember Jackie's waving her arms. That means she's right
- 9:29Speaker 1: the kid, I'm saying, the kid he's eighteen. You know,
- 9:31Speaker 1: my dad was half way across the world on a
- 9:33Speaker 1: navy ship at that age. But but he's eighteen. He
- 9:38Speaker 1: did lie about his age because he thought he'd get
- 9:40Speaker 1: in trouble for his drinking. All right, so can you
- 9:45Speaker 1: see him going along with Kevin Spacey? I mean really
- 9:49Speaker 1: at that point, what what harm was there? You know,
- 9:51Speaker 1: they were singing, they were drinking. Spacey was buying him drinks.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Can you see that? I see it. But it's wrong, Nancy,
- 9:59Speaker 1: It's just so wrong, and that he has decades of
- 10:02Speaker 1: the history of doing this thing, the same kind of
- 10:06Speaker 1: thing happening with kids who are star struck, and they
- 10:10Speaker 1: are kids because they are not developed, They're not developed
- 10:14Speaker 1: to the point where they can deal with that. They
- 10:17Speaker 1: really can't make those kind of judgments. They can't make
- 10:19Speaker 1: those kind of calls. And as you can tell through
- 10:23Speaker 1: these stories, people were not approaching him just because he
- 10:28Speaker 1: was a star. He was allowed to get away with
- 10:30Speaker 1: it for so long. And that's what Richard Dreyfus, his son,
- 10:33Speaker 1: says that it happened to him as he was rehearsing
- 10:37Speaker 1: lines with Spacey in Spacey's apartment with his dad, Richard
- 10:43Speaker 1: Dreyfus there, and the dad didn't know about it, and
- 10:46Speaker 1: the son says he was too embarrassed to ever say
- 10:47Speaker 1: anything and thought nobody would believe him. That's one of
- 10:50Speaker 1: the similars. But what I'm talking about is can you
- 10:53Speaker 1: just see a kid going along with it? A team
- 10:57Speaker 1: he's with Kevin Spacey and he lied about his age
- 11:00Speaker 1: because he knew me wasn't supposed to be drinking. I
- 11:02Speaker 1: want you to take a listen to what the mom
- 11:05Speaker 1: Heather Unrace is. Spacey stuck his hand inside my son's
- 11:10Speaker 1: pants and grabbed his genitals, and my son's efforts to
- 11:15Speaker 1: shift his body to remove Spacey's hand were only momentarily successful.
- 11:21Speaker 1: The violation continued. My son panicked, he froze, he was intoxicated,
- 11:30Speaker 1: and Kevin Spacey was insisting that he come with him
- 11:33Speaker 1: to a private after hours party to drink even more Fortunately,
- 11:40Speaker 1: Kevin Spacey left briefly to use the bathroom, and when
- 11:45Speaker 1: he was out of sight, a concerned woman quickly came
- 11:49Speaker 1: to my very shaken son's side and asked if he
- 11:52Speaker 1: was okay. Obviously she had seen something and she knew
- 11:57Speaker 1: that he was not. She told him to run, and
- 12:02Speaker 1: he did. Of course, some believed everything and had just
- 12:06Speaker 1: been waiting with bated breath to hearm he confess at all.
- 12:09Speaker 1: They're just dying to have me declare that everything said
- 12:12Speaker 1: is true and that I got what I deserved. Wouldn't
- 12:16Speaker 1: that be easy if it was all so simple? Only
- 12:20Speaker 1: you and I both know it's never that simple. Not
- 12:22Speaker 1: in politics and not in life. But you wouldn't believe
- 12:25Speaker 1: the worst without evidence, would you? You wouldn't rush to
- 12:28Speaker 1: judgments without facts, would you? Did you? No? Not you?
- 12:36Speaker 1: You're smarter than matter anyway, all this presumption made for
- 12:40Speaker 1: such an unsatisfying ending, And to think it could have
- 12:43Speaker 1: been such a memorable send off. I mean, if you
- 12:46Speaker 1: and I have learned nothing else these past years, it's
- 12:48Speaker 1: that in life and art, nothing should be off the table.
- 12:51Speaker 1: We weren't afraid, not of what we said, not of
- 12:54Speaker 1: what we did, and we're still not afraid because I
- 12:58Speaker 1: can promise you this. If I didn't pay the price
- 13:02Speaker 1: for the things we both know I did do, I'm
- 13:04Speaker 1: certainly not going to pay the price for the things
- 13:06Speaker 1: I didn't do. Wow, Okay, if you really listen to
- 13:11Speaker 1: those words, they pack a punch. Arrogant you are hearing
- 13:16Speaker 1: actor superstar actor Kevin Spacey's self created YouTube video quote,
- 13:22Speaker 1: let me be Frank. He's apparently in character as the
- 13:28Speaker 1: role he played in the Netflix series House of Cards,
- 13:31Speaker 1: a Frank Underwood with his fake Southern accent, which early
- 13:37Speaker 1: irritates all of us who really truly do have a
- 13:39Speaker 1: horrible Southern accent. But that aside the words I mean,
- 13:45Speaker 1: Ashley Wilcott, judge lawyer, Ashley. You know, sometimes I feel like, oh,
- 13:51Speaker 1: I've seen it all, you know, after all the cases
- 13:54Speaker 1: I've tried and what I've seen done to people, victims,
- 13:59Speaker 1: infant children, women, But this one is it's a conundrum.
- 14:05Speaker 1: It's I like to say to the children, it's a
- 14:07Speaker 1: mystery wrapped in a conundrum, shrouded an intrigue. And because
- 14:15Speaker 1: what was he thinking this video that he dropped? And
- 14:19Speaker 1: I watched it almost all the way through, and I'll
- 14:21Speaker 1: just couldn't take it anymore than I forced myself to
- 14:23Speaker 1: watch the whole thing. It's so smug. It's like, hey,
- 14:29Speaker 1: look at me instead of at that. Look over here,
- 14:32Speaker 1: not over there, look at my video, not at the
- 14:35Speaker 1: charges just filed against me. And the words are really
- 14:39Speaker 1: mocking what's happening in court to what could be a
- 14:43Speaker 1: real victim. Yeah. So Number one, Nancy, I can imagine
- 14:47Speaker 1: that his attorneys probably would have advised him against dropping
- 14:50Speaker 1: this video. Number two, why why, why? Here's the irony
- 14:56Speaker 1: to me? He actually his attorney's filed the motion that
- 14:59Speaker 1: he not have to appear in person at arrayment, that
- 15:02Speaker 1: they appear on his behalf So here's someone who's saying, oh,
- 15:05Speaker 1: I don't want to create a big public spectacle by
- 15:07Speaker 1: coming to court. But on the other hand, I'm gonna
- 15:09Speaker 1: drop a video that I know millions of people are
- 15:12Speaker 1: gonna view. That's bizarre. I mean, he's in a character
- 15:16Speaker 1: from a show. He was in that piece. I thought
- 15:20Speaker 1: he is shooting himself in the foot even further. Okay,
- 15:24Speaker 1: don't judge me, Dave Matt. But I didn't never see
- 15:27Speaker 1: House of Cards? Jackie, did you see it? Okay? She
- 15:29Speaker 1: says no, and I do. We watch almost exclusively on demand,
- 15:36Speaker 1: except we usually watch Amazon. But we have been watching
- 15:40Speaker 1: some Stranger Things all right, which I think is on Netflix.
- 15:45Speaker 1: I didn't see House of Cards, and I don't know
- 15:47Speaker 1: who that character is, Spacey's character. I mean, really, it's
- 15:52Speaker 1: all I can do to get up every morning at
- 15:53Speaker 1: five or thirty and get the twins to school and
- 15:56Speaker 1: work and blah blah blah blah, and then all of
- 15:58Speaker 1: a sudden, it's you know, it's the end of the day.
- 16:00Speaker 1: I'm like, what happened? So tell me what is House
- 16:03Speaker 1: of Cards? And what is the role that he plays?
- 16:05Speaker 1: Dave Matt. The House of Cards is a political thriller
- 16:08Speaker 1: where Kevin Spacey's character, Frank Underwood, is the President of
- 16:12Speaker 1: the United States and he's evil. He killed, he killed,
- 16:15Speaker 1: and just terrorized people to get to that position. And
- 16:19Speaker 1: then after the story broke, this very successful House of
- 16:23Speaker 1: Cards Netflix series actually was put on hiatus and then
- 16:27Speaker 1: they went ahead and filmed a sixth season without Kevin Spacey.
- 16:31Speaker 1: They killed off his character and then wrapped the whole series.
- 16:34Speaker 1: Huh okay, So they ended the whole series after this
- 16:39Speaker 1: whole thing broke. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, And
- 16:43Speaker 1: there are actually some people involved in the cast that
- 16:45Speaker 1: have made accusations similar to the story that we've heard
- 16:49Speaker 1: about the other thirty accusations against Kevin flow chart, because
- 16:54Speaker 1: there are tons of people. I hear you lapping in
- 16:56Speaker 1: the background. Alan Duke is with me, you know, I'm
- 17:01Speaker 1: looking back, and there are so many claims. Let's see,
- 17:06Speaker 1: eight House of Cars employees have made complaints. Twenty they
- 17:11Speaker 1: are specifically accusing him of misconduct. Over twenty people came
- 17:16Speaker 1: forward at the old VIC Theater. As of today, Alan,
- 17:19Speaker 1: you watch House of Cars, tell me tell me about
- 17:21Speaker 1: his character and how in the world did he think
- 17:24Speaker 1: dropping this video is going to help him. Well, first
- 17:26Speaker 1: of all, the character of Frank Underwood got away with everything.
- 17:31Speaker 1: That is until in real life Kevin Spacey stopped getting
- 17:35Speaker 1: away with everything and they killed him off and he
- 17:38Speaker 1: was tossed out of the White House and his wife
- 17:40Speaker 1: took over as president. But anyway, I think he made
- 17:43Speaker 1: this video because Frank Underwood was so smart he could
- 17:47Speaker 1: get away with murder literally, and so maybe maybe that's
- 17:51Speaker 1: his defense that he's Frank Underwood. And guys, if you
- 17:53Speaker 1: don't know this already, Kevin Spacey was pulled over for
- 17:57Speaker 1: speeding on his way home for according to TMZ, he
- 18:01Speaker 1: couldn't make it home from his alleged sex assault case
- 18:05Speaker 1: fast enough. He has been busted speeding. That's apparently the
- 18:09Speaker 1: very latest that we're hearing. I don't know all the
- 18:12Speaker 1: details on that, and we're trying to get to the
- 18:14Speaker 1: bottom of that. But so that's a character he played
- 18:17Speaker 1: in Frank Underwood. Dave Mack, I know we've wandered for
- 18:20Speaker 1: a field, but can we go back to the claim itself?
- 18:23Speaker 1: So the mom says a woman came up to her
- 18:28Speaker 1: son and said, of you, okay, And another witness apparently
- 18:34Speaker 1: describes him as white as a sheet and shaken looking
- 18:38Speaker 1: like what. I don't know if that's the booze or
- 18:41Speaker 1: if that's what happened to him, but I want everybody
- 18:45Speaker 1: to just pause for a moment and imagine if this
- 18:48Speaker 1: happened to your teen girl. Take that in for a moment.
- 18:54Speaker 1: You know, there's another case, Dave mac where at least one,
- 18:57Speaker 1: maybe two or three where the alleged victim ran that
- 19:02Speaker 1: it ran and he in the bathroom at a bar,
- 19:05Speaker 1: left ran to get away, that the attacks were so forceful.
- 19:10Speaker 1: So what happened after the woman comes up to him
- 19:14Speaker 1: and says, are you okay? Well, he actually did flee.
- 19:17Speaker 1: You know, he was shaken. Spacey goes to the bathroom
- 19:21Speaker 1: and Heather unrue Son left the building. One of the
- 19:24Speaker 1: things you mentioned early on was that he was texting
- 19:27Speaker 1: his girlfriend all along the way. And yesterday in court,
- 19:30Speaker 1: Kevin Spacey's attorney asked for the judge to make the
- 19:34Speaker 1: prosecution keep up with all of the transmissions that evening
- 19:37Speaker 1: and for the next six months, because they claimed that
- 19:40Speaker 1: at no point in time did Heather unrue Son ever
- 19:42Speaker 1: indicate to anyone what was going on. But I want
- 19:45Speaker 1: to point out something. The groping happened after about an
- 19:49Speaker 1: hour of the two sitting and talking together. He had
- 19:52Speaker 1: Kevin Spacey had really, in an hour long period of time,
- 19:54Speaker 1: gotten this kid drunk and was really warming up to him.
- 19:58Speaker 1: That's when he put the move on him. When it
- 20:00Speaker 1: rocked this kid's world. And thankfully Kevin Spacey had to
- 20:03Speaker 1: go to the bathroom because if not, we don't know
- 20:05Speaker 1: what could have happened. Hi, Nancy Grace here, have you

- 21:39Speaker 1: you loved it anyhow. Despite all the puppycock, the animosity,
- 21:46Speaker 1: the headlines, the impeachment without a trial, despite everything, despite
- 21:52Speaker 1: even my own death, I feel surprisingly good and my
- 21:57Speaker 1: confidence grows each day that soon enough you will know
- 22:01Speaker 1: the full truth. We'll wait a minute now that I
- 22:10Speaker 1: think of it. You never actually saw me die, did you?
- 22:22Speaker 1: Conclusions can be so deceiving. You miss me? Okay? I
- 22:38Speaker 1: was holding out a reasonable doubt until I heard that.
- 22:41Speaker 1: I know I don't miss you. Yes, I liked you
- 22:44Speaker 1: a lot in American Beauty. After that, you know, I
- 22:48Speaker 1: just I can't speak to that, but I know about this.
- 22:51Speaker 1: That was a very ill timed video that Kevin Spacey made,
- 22:55Speaker 1: apparently in the six million dollar mansion in Baltimore or
- 23:00Speaker 1: owned by his close friend where he's been holed up
- 23:03Speaker 1: for some time. We are learning in the last hours
- 23:07Speaker 1: that Kevin Spacey has had another run in with law enforcement,
- 23:11Speaker 1: just hours after he appears in court on sex assault charges.
- 23:15Speaker 1: The actor was pulled over for speeding near the Ronald
- 23:18Speaker 1: Reagan Washington National Airport, says a person with Metropolitan Washington
- 23:23Speaker 1: Airport's authority. Spacey was in the driver's seat, was not
- 23:27Speaker 1: given a ticket, and we know he's been staying in Baltimore.
- 23:32Speaker 1: He was joined by his lawyer, Alan Jackson, who was
- 23:35Speaker 1: in the passenger seat. He was given a verbal warning
- 23:38Speaker 1: not to speed. Now. TMZ was the first to report
- 23:40Speaker 1: this and actually got footage of space in a black
- 23:43Speaker 1: suburban Ford getting pulled over by two officers. I don't
- 23:46Speaker 1: know how TMZ is always everywhere everywhere, but I know
- 23:51Speaker 1: one thing. I never traveled to Lax without three pair
- 23:53Speaker 1: of dollar try sunglasses stuck in my shirt. Okay, because
- 23:57Speaker 1: they are everywhere. That Harvey, I mean, he is like
- 24:01Speaker 1: audit now, I want to get back to what's happening.
- 24:04Speaker 1: We were playing you a clip from his self created
- 24:07Speaker 1: video where he plays Frank Underwood, a character that was
- 24:10Speaker 1: killed off in Netflix House of Cars. After these allegations surface,
- 24:15Speaker 1: but I want you to hear the response to this.
- 24:20Speaker 1: This was done before he dropped the video. This is
- 24:23Speaker 1: the alleged victim's mother, TV personality Heather Unribe. In July
- 24:29Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, actor Kevin Spacey has sexually assaulted my son.
- 24:39Speaker 1: It happened late night inside the club Car, restaurant and
- 24:42Speaker 1: bar on Nantucket Island. The victim, my son, was a
- 24:48Speaker 1: star struck, straight eighteen year old young man who had
- 24:54Speaker 1: no idea that the famous actor was an alleged sexual
- 24:59Speaker 1: predator or that he was about to become his next victim.
- 25:06Speaker 1: My son was not of legal age to drink alcohol.
- 25:11Speaker 1: He told Kevin Spacey that he was of legal age,
- 25:15Speaker 1: but whether he was over twenty one or not, Kevin
- 25:20Speaker 1: Spacey had no right to sexually assault him. There was
- 25:26Speaker 1: no consent, and when my son was drunk, Spacey made
- 25:32Speaker 1: his mood and sexually assaulted him. You're hearing Heather Unrude,
- 25:37Speaker 1: the alleged victim's mom. Let's talk about what happened in
- 25:41Speaker 1: court yesterday. It was being carried live on so many outlets.
- 25:47Speaker 1: Ashley Wolcott, juvenile judge and lawyer. From your perspective, I
- 25:51Speaker 1: thought the judge did a good job. He really kept
- 25:54Speaker 1: it short and sweet. No playing to the cameras as
- 25:57Speaker 1: we see so many judges do when they're on camera.
- 26:00Speaker 1: You know, nothing like that, no joking, blah blah blah.
- 26:05Speaker 1: I mean, it was just cut and dried. There was
- 26:08Speaker 1: no real preferential treatment. Although Spacey got to come in,
- 26:12Speaker 1: he didn't really have to wait because you know, Ashley,
- 26:14Speaker 1: when I would handle pleading arrayment calendars, there'd be one
- 26:17Speaker 1: hundred and fifty people on the calendar and you sat
- 26:20Speaker 1: there and you waited till your case was called. And
- 26:23Speaker 1: believe me, I was going as fast as I could. Okay,
- 26:27Speaker 1: but he got to come in. He did get a
- 26:28Speaker 1: little curb service, but that really didn't bother me because
- 26:32Speaker 1: he had actually tried to wave appearing. But under Massachusetts law,
- 26:38Speaker 1: you must appear in person the first time after you've
- 26:43Speaker 1: been charged. That's something you can't wait. The judge did
- 26:45Speaker 1: wave his next hearing, which is on March four at
- 26:48Speaker 1: eleven am. But how did you think explain what happened
- 26:52Speaker 1: in court, Ashley Wilcot. Okay, So, first of all, I
- 26:56Speaker 1: agree he was treated like most defendants are treated, which
- 26:59Speaker 1: is appropriate aredless of fame and fortune. They need to
- 27:01Speaker 1: be treated the same across the board. And so number one,
- 27:05Speaker 1: the fact that the judge said, no, you do have
- 27:07Speaker 1: to appear. You cannot waive your presence at arraignment. It's
- 27:10Speaker 1: just like other criminal defendants. So that's good. I agree
- 27:13Speaker 1: with you. He showed up. Of course there was a circus.
- 27:15Speaker 1: Of course, there were people watching him get out of
- 27:17Speaker 1: his car. Of course there needed to be precautions to
- 27:20Speaker 1: ensure that, you know, it didn't become like he did
- 27:23Speaker 1: get curb service. Well, that's good because they wanted to
- 27:25Speaker 1: reduce the circus as much as they could. The judge
- 27:29Speaker 1: was very forthcoming, very direct arraignment, as you well know
- 27:33Speaker 1: and for all our listeners, is are you entering a
- 27:36Speaker 1: plea of guilty or not guilty? The charges against you
- 27:39Speaker 1: are read, and that's all that ever happened. So it
- 27:41Speaker 1: was short and sweet by the book, and that's what
- 27:45Speaker 1: happened in Kevin Spacey's case. What do you think legally,
- 27:49Speaker 1: asking wellcott will happen next? So legally, now that he's
- 27:52Speaker 1: denied the charge, he is going to have to proceed
- 27:56Speaker 1: along the legal system, which is okay, we've had arraignment.
- 27:59Speaker 1: There's going to be indictment, there's going to be another hearing,
- 28:01Speaker 1: there's going to be a trial set and a trial
- 28:04Speaker 1: court date, and he then has the options that all
- 28:06Speaker 1: defendants have. You can either negotiate an inter a plea,
- 28:10Speaker 1: or in the alternative, you go to trial and he
- 28:13Speaker 1: would have to be prepared to defend his case and
- 28:16Speaker 1: in a nutshell. To Joseph Scott Morgan forensics expert author
- 28:20Speaker 1: of Blood Beneath My Feet Joe Scott, much has been
- 28:23Speaker 1: made of an alleged cell phone video that the boy
- 28:28Speaker 1: the team took during the incident. A lot of people
- 28:32Speaker 1: are going, Wow, it must not have been that bad
- 28:34Speaker 1: if he could take a video of it. But I mean,
- 28:36Speaker 1: he's with Kevin Spacey and he's taking this video a
- 28:40Speaker 1: little it's no more than a few seconds. People are
- 28:43Speaker 1: arguing it shows nothing. Some people say it shows everything.
- 28:46Speaker 1: We haven't seen it yet, But what do you make
- 28:48Speaker 1: of that evidence? In the judge's order that all cell
- 28:51Speaker 1: phone and electronic data be preserved for quite a period
- 28:56Speaker 1: of time, from the time around of the incident, around
- 28:58Speaker 1: the seventh of July on several weeks, what do you
- 29:02Speaker 1: make of that? Yeah, I think that it's significant and
- 29:05Speaker 1: they want to be able to analyze it from a
- 29:07Speaker 1: criminal investigative standpoint, and also they don't want this thing
- 29:10Speaker 1: getting washed out. I think if I remember, this was
- 29:13Speaker 1: a Snapchat video that he had sent to his girlfriend
- 29:16Speaker 1: at that particular time. I like, no one else has
- 29:19Speaker 1: actually seen this thing yet, but I can only imagine
- 29:22Speaker 1: seeing some of these snapchat videos that my college students have,
- 29:26Speaker 1: you know, put out, and they'll show me periodically. The
- 29:28Speaker 1: the you know, the composition of these things as questionable.
- 29:31Speaker 1: Many times you can't make a lot out of it,
- 29:34Speaker 1: but we'll see. Listen to this, okay, mister follow this
- 29:37Speaker 1: complaints charges that's in the town of Nantucket on July eighth,
- 29:40Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. Did commit indecent as soft and battery on

- 30:39Speaker 1: away and have no contact direct or indirect with the
- 30:42Speaker 1: alleged victim. I know what you want. Oh sure, they
- 30:46Speaker 1: may have tried to separate us, but what we have
- 30:48Speaker 1: is too strong, It's too powerful. I mean, after all,
- 30:51Speaker 1: we shared everything, you and I. I told you my deepest,
- 30:55Speaker 1: darkest secrets. I showed you exactly what people are capable of.
- 31:01Speaker 1: I shocked you with my honesty. But mostly I challenged
- 31:04Speaker 1: you and made you think, and you trusted me even
- 31:10Speaker 1: though you knew you shouldn't. So we're not done, no
- 31:14Speaker 1: matter what anyone says. And besides, I know what you want.
- 31:22Speaker 1: You want me back. Well, actually I can't say to enough.
- 31:26Speaker 1: That's really not what I want. I want to know
- 31:28Speaker 1: what happened that night in the club Car Bar in Nantucket,
- 31:32Speaker 1: Massachusetts in July with an teen boy you just heard
- 31:36Speaker 1: after Kevin Spacey's YouTube video Self Creative called let Me
- 31:40Speaker 1: Be Frank, which indicates he's playing the part of Frank Underwood,
- 31:44Speaker 1: his character or in a Netflix series House of Cards
- 31:47Speaker 1: where he is an evil politician. To Alan Duke joining
- 31:52Speaker 1: me from La Alan, you are a House of Cards?
- 31:55Speaker 1: If he Sionado explained to me again, what's so compelling?
- 31:58Speaker 1: Why did everybody love Underwood? Well, he was the villain
- 32:02Speaker 1: that you were rooting for because he was so interesting.
- 32:05Speaker 1: I mean, he was killing people, he was corrupting the government.
- 32:08Speaker 1: He was just the worst politician you could ever think of.
- 32:11Speaker 1: But for some reason, I found myself hoping that he
- 32:13Speaker 1: would not be caught so that the story could continue.
- 32:17Speaker 1: And I do hope the story continues. I know Dave
- 32:19Speaker 1: said he thinks the series is over, but I'm pleading
- 32:21Speaker 1: Netflix bring it back, not with him though, not with
- 32:24Speaker 1: frankin thank you for using this platform. Too big for
- 32:28Speaker 1: a Netflix series, I have to binge on it. Okay,
- 32:32Speaker 1: all right, you know what I remember when I gave
- 32:34Speaker 1: a speech to a group import Huron and I was.
- 32:38Speaker 1: It was right on the Canadian border, and I was
- 32:40Speaker 1: begging somebody I didn't know who would hear me, for
- 32:43Speaker 1: them to hurry up and release the next Murdoch mysteries
- 32:47Speaker 1: because you have to wait in the US to get it.
- 32:50Speaker 1: Because it's Canadian. You can only get it if you're
- 32:52Speaker 1: a brit or a Canadian. So I feel your pain, Alan,
- 32:56Speaker 1: But right now I'm trying to get to the bottom
- 32:58Speaker 1: of this case. David Max, syndicated talk show hosts joining me. Dave,
- 33:03Speaker 1: now tell me about the other complaints. You've got about
- 33:07Speaker 1: eight to ten on the set of House of Cards,
- 33:11Speaker 1: and you've got about twenty at least in London, throughout England,
- 33:17Speaker 1: actually not just London. In my flow chart, let me
- 33:20Speaker 1: get that thing back out again. I tried to mark
- 33:22Speaker 1: where they were all coming from, you know, because that's
- 33:26Speaker 1: kind of matter regarding similarities. I can't even read some
- 33:29Speaker 1: of my writing, but it was out and about. They
- 33:31Speaker 1: were in London. I think I'm writing Liverpool in some
- 33:36Speaker 1: places in his New York apartment at the old VIC Theater,
- 33:44Speaker 1: out and about. Are you familiar with the case with
- 33:46Speaker 1: Richard Dreyfus's son, I am, and in reality the cases
- 33:53Speaker 1: for Kevin Spacey all started with Anthony rep the act.
- 34:00Speaker 1: He was fourteen years old of the time. I think
- 34:02Speaker 1: it was in nineteen eighty six, and he was on
- 34:04Speaker 1: Broadway in a play and he was enamored with Kevin Spacey,
- 34:07Speaker 1: as so many others were. And Anthony Rapp at fourteen,
- 34:11Speaker 1: ended up back at Kevin Spacey's apartment in New York City. Now,
- 34:15Speaker 1: he came forward at the height of the Harvey Weinstein accusations,
- 34:19Speaker 1: and that was what he said. That's why he came out,
- 34:22Speaker 1: and he gave a very big statement. That's when Kevin
- 34:25Speaker 1: Spacey actually sent it. What did Anthony Rapp, then fourteen
- 34:29Speaker 1: years old working I guess on a movie with him,
- 34:31Speaker 1: what happened? He claims that he went to an apartment
- 34:34Speaker 1: with Kevin Space's apartment where they drank. Kevin Spacey made
- 34:38Speaker 1: a move on him, he rebuffed him. He ended up
- 34:41Speaker 1: sleeping on the couch in Kevin Space's apartment. But when
- 34:45Speaker 1: he woke up the next morning, Kevin Spacey was on
- 34:47Speaker 1: the couch with his arms draped around Anthony Rapp. That's
- 34:51Speaker 1: when he woke up. He said he was shocked and dismayed.
- 34:54Speaker 1: Anthony Rapp was fourteen years old at the time. It
- 34:58Speaker 1: was hold On, Hold On, Karen Starr. That is what
- 35:00Speaker 1: I do not want. I do not want to wake
- 35:02Speaker 1: up in an unknown apartment with some guy's arms that
- 35:06Speaker 1: I've never met before, just barely know, wrapped around me,
- 35:09Speaker 1: with his head on my stomach. I don't want that. No,
- 35:12Speaker 1: of course you don't want that, Nancy. But think about
- 35:14Speaker 1: the fact that if you were fourteen, what makes the
- 35:17Speaker 1: season worse is that here's a predator who's arrogant about it,
- 35:23Speaker 1: who's actually saying when he released that video, that you're
- 35:28Speaker 1: going to side with him. Oh, he could get away
- 35:31Speaker 1: with anything because he's so interesting, and he used his
- 35:35Speaker 1: celebrity to actually spin this web and track all of
- 35:40Speaker 1: these young people. And it didn't matter male or female,
- 35:43Speaker 1: because this even a girl who came forward who said
- 35:47Speaker 1: that the same thing had happened. All right, Nancy. One
- 35:50Speaker 1: of the things I want all parents to hear in
- 35:52Speaker 1: this case with the eighteen year old and Kevin Spacey
- 35:54Speaker 1: and any other victims out there, is eighteen year old
- 35:56Speaker 1: brains are not fully developed. They're not going to make
- 35:58Speaker 1: good sound decisions. But this eighteen year old admitted in
- 36:01Speaker 1: his victim's statement that he drank a lot, often to
- 36:05Speaker 1: the point of blacking out. It does not excuse her
- 36:07Speaker 1: to fend Kevin Spacey's behavior at all, or alleged behavior.
- 36:11Speaker 1: But I am going to say this, parents, pay attention
- 36:13Speaker 1: to what your children are doing to help educate them
- 36:15Speaker 1: about how to avoid situations where they may be a victim.
- 36:19Speaker 1: You know, I'm looking, Dave Mack at all of these
- 36:22Speaker 1: names and configurations I wrote down. You've got Anthony Ratt
- 36:25Speaker 1: that you just mentioned. Robert Cavasso's an actor there at
- 36:31Speaker 1: the Old vict Daniel Beak, if Mike can read my writing,
- 36:36Speaker 1: that was in London, and I have that he was
- 36:38Speaker 1: a teen bartender at the West Sussex Hotel that he
- 36:44Speaker 1: claims Spacey gave him an expensive watch to stay quiet.
- 36:48Speaker 1: Justin Davis, a sixteen year old in a high school
- 36:52Speaker 1: that he gave alcohol and allegedly showed gape horn too.
- 36:56Speaker 1: Mike Evan bought a thirty five year old military advisor
- 36:59Speaker 1: on this set of Outbreak that his producers solicited him
- 37:04Speaker 1: for a rendezvous. He said no. Harry Dreyfuss, then eighteen,
- 37:10Speaker 1: a filmmaker then in his thirties, got groped According to him,
- 37:15Speaker 1: a twenty year old bartender in London who went to
- 37:20Speaker 1: a party got groped and took his girlfriend and left
- 37:24Speaker 1: an anonymous twenty year old It looks like I have
- 37:28Speaker 1: London written another anonymous New York artist that was then
- 37:32Speaker 1: a child actor fourteen at the time. I mean, it
- 37:36Speaker 1: goes on and on and on, but where will it end?
- 37:41Speaker 1: Listen to this space He stuck his hand inside my
- 37:45Speaker 1: son's pants and grabbed his genitals, and my son's efforts
- 37:50Speaker 1: to shift his body to remove Spacey's hand, we're only
- 37:55Speaker 1: momentarily successful. The violation continued. My son panicked, he froze,
- 38:03Speaker 1: he was intoxicated, and Kevin Spacey was insisting that he
- 38:08Speaker 1: come with him to a private after hours party to drink.
- 38:12Speaker 1: Even more fortunately, Kevin Spacey left briefly to use the bathroom,
- 38:20Speaker 1: and when he was out of sight, a concerned woman
- 38:24Speaker 1: quickly came to my very shaken son's side and asked
- 38:28Speaker 1: if he was okay. Obviously she had seen something and
- 38:32Speaker 1: she knew that he was not. She told him to run,
- 38:37Speaker 1: and he did. We wait as justice unfolds. Nancy Grace
