Kevin Spacey finds himself facing troubling comparisons to his on-screen persona.
In chilling testimony, the alleged victim likened the famous actor to his character in the 1995 film “Se7en.” Although the 63-year-old has denied all the allegations, the man’s testimony is the latest in a series of claims against Spacey, who has been accused of sexual assault by several men.
Kevin Spacey’s ‘Se7en’ Character Lives In UK Courts
Released in 1995, it remains one of David Fincher’s most successful films. It features a gripping plot in which a pair of detectives, played by Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, hunt down a sadistic killer who commits murders based on the seven deadly sins.
The TV personality portrays the role of a gruesome killer in the film, and interestingly, one of the alleged victims has drawn comparisons between Spacey and his character from the film.
In accordance with British law, the identity of the alleged victim remains undisclosed. However, in detail, Marca reported that he recounted alleged horrific abuse he suffered from the most influential figures in the film industry at the time.

Shockingly, she revealed that the incident of inappropriate touching happened “more than a dozen times.” Jurors reviewed key evidence – videotaped statements in which the alleged victim detailed the disturbing encounter.
She described the touch as targeting her “inner thighs and privates,” “slaps on the butt,” and forced pressure to respond. Drawing an eerie parallel, the “Working Girl” actress’ accuser said, “It’s a bit like her character on ‘Seven. Pretty bad. Maybe not that bad.”
“He would hold my hand and put it on his private part. I once said to him, ‘You are a strange person.’ He’ll laugh about it, he finds it funny, and he’s not shy,” he continued.
The man also revealed harrowing details about his last encounter with the award-winning star. The alleged incident happened during a gala in London when Spacey became agitated with the camera.
Narrating the sad incident, the accuser stated, “He hit me with his hand on my inner thigh and then moved upwards. He made a real noise, he hit me in the balls, basically. When questioned by the police about the delay in making a report, he claimed that he was embarrassed and prevented him from coming forward earlier.
The revelations have added to the weight of the ongoing trial in the UK, which has been adjourned for 48 hours from the original date set for the trial to begin. The singer faces 12 charges of sexual assault involving four men from 2001 to 2013.
In a report by The Blast, the producers of the film headed to Southwark Crown Court in London, only to find that the start of the trial had been delayed. According to reports, during the court appearance, Judge Mark Wall was informed that Spacey’s defense attorney, Patrick Gibbs, was busy with another case scheduled for Thursday.

As a result, the start date of the trial has been pushed back to Friday, with the presentation of evidence expected to begin on Monday. Due to the projected duration of the trial exceeding four weeks, an alternate jury will be impaneled to accommodate the extended proceedings.
‘Superman Returns’ Star Lands Movie Role After US Trial Win
After being accused of sexual harassment by actor Anthony Rapp and eventually winning the case, Spacey landed his first film role. Despite only a voice part in the upcoming British indie thriller, the role marks a huge step forward for the Oscar-winning star.
After a trial, the “Pay It Forward” actress was acquitted by a jury of charges of intimate misconduct against Rapp. The “Star Trek: Discovery” actor is seeking $40 million in damages for an alleged incident that occurred when he was 14 years old.
However, the case was dismissed by Judge Lewis Kaplan because the prosecution failed to provide sufficient evidence to support the allegation that Spacey had engaged in any inappropriate touching.
Undeterred by the legal case surrounding the musician, director Gene Fallaize revealed that he wrote the script for “Control” with him in mind, as he had been a long-time fan of Spacey since childhood.
Fallaize admitted that the controversy surrounding the “Mind Games” singer was considered. However, he expressed his admiration by stating, “He is one of the greatest actors of our generation. His personal life aside — it’s something I can’t comment on and don’t know — it’s an opportunity to work with one of the great actors.”
