Broadway veteran and Star Trek: Discovery star Anthony Rapp has come forward with allegations that actor Kevin Spacey made a sexual advance on him when he was a 14-year-old lead in the Broadway play Precious Sons in 1986. Spacey, now a two-time Academy Award winner, was 26 at the time. “My stomach churns,” Rapp told BuzzFeed News. “I still to this day can’t wrap my head around so many aspects of it. It’s just deeply confusing to me.” Rapp alleged that after a party in Spacey’s apartment, Spacey picked him up, placed him on a bed, and climbed on top of him. “He was trying to seduce me,” Rapp said. “I don’t know if I would have used that language. But I was aware that he was trying to get with me sexually.” Spacey’s representatives did not return BuzzFeed’s request for comment.
