A man who accused Kevin Spacey of groping him at a bar in Nantucket, Massachusetts, in 2016, an accusation for which the actor currently faces a criminal charge, abruptly dropped a civil suit against Spacey for damages on Friday.
The five-page civil complaint, which was filed last week in a Nantucket superior court, had sought an unspecified amount for damages claiming that the teenage man has “suffered, and will continue to suffer in the future severe mental distress and emotional injuries.”
However, on Friday morning, the accuser’s attorney Mitchell Garabedian sent TheWrap a copy of a court document noting that his client is voluntarily dropping the lawsuit “with prejudice and without costs to any party.”
