The mainstream media has just done a deplorable act, that should raise many eyebrows. On Sunday night it was revealed that Actor Kevin Spacey sexually assaulted Anthony Rapp, the MSM then proceeded to downplay the allegations by saying Spacey apologized for his assault and that he was gay.
A truly disgusting display of media spin headlines all over read "Kevin Spacey comes out as gay apologizes for the rape of 14-year-old victim," or some form of conjecture.
Reuters published this article that put a major focus on Spacey’s sexuality over the allegation made by Rapp.
That headline read: "Actor Kevin Spacey declares he lives life as a gay man."
After years of refusing to address rumors about his sexuality, Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey said on Sunday he has chosen to live his life as a gay man,” Chris Michaud wrote.
The article failed to mention the allegations by Rapp until the third paragraph. The story has since been edited.
While the New York Daily News originally ran a similar headline: "Kevin Spacey announced Sunday night that he will live as a gay man."
The NY Daily News later changed its headline to include Rapp’s accusation.
Even ABC News faced backlash and was forced to change its headline to include the allegation after it focused on his “emotional” tweet regarding his sexuality, Mediaite reported.
The only outlet who may have gotten it right was People Magazine who led its headline with Spacey coming out while also including the allegation in the most accurate.
"Kevin Spacey Comes Out as Gay After Anthony Rapp Alleges the Actor Made Sexual Advances Toward Him at 14," the headline reads.In an interview with Buzzfeed, Rapp said Spacey picked him up, put him on his bed and "was trying to get with me sexually" in 1986. Spacey would have been 26 at the time."
He picked me up like a groom picks up the bride over the threshold. But I don't, like, squirm away initially, because I'm like, 'What's going on?' And then he lays down on top of me," Rapp told Buzzfeed.
"He was trying to seduce me," Rapp told the website. "I don't know if I would have used that language. But I was aware that he was trying to get with me sexually." He said he felt Spacey "pressing into me" and "tightening his arms."
Rapp told Buzzfeed that he had previously disclosed details of the confrontation in 2001 in an interview with the Advocate, but he did not name Spacey on the record at that time.
The Advocate's executive editor at the time, Bruce Steele, told Buzzfeed that Rapp had been talking about Spacey when he made his anonymous allegations.The media's conflation of sexual orientation and child rape spurred many on Twitter to point out the attempted spin. While Spacey said that he must have been drunk at the time and didn't remember it several users on Twitter said that is no excuse.Ashlee Marie Preston, writer and activist tweeted: "I'm not interested in Kevin Spacey being gay. I'm curious as to why we're conflating sexuality w/ the molestation of a minor. Stay on topic."
https://twitter.com/AshleeMPreston/status/924893723153940480
"Nope to Kevin Spacey's statement. Nope," tweeted Dan Savage. "There's no amount of drunk or closeted that excuses or explains away assaulting a 14-year-old child."
https://twitter.com/fakedansavage/status/924862060562857984
"The New York Daily News too? Add them to AP, Reuters, ABC News. Awful," Yahar Ali tweeted.
https://twitter.com/yashar/status/924878316494090242
In response to the allegations, Spacey tweeted that he was "beyond horrified to hear Rapp's story."Spacey tweeted: "I honestly do not remember the encounter, it would have been over 30 years ago.
"But if I did behave then as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior, and I am sorry for the feelings he describes having carried with him all these years."
https://twitter.com/KevinSpacey/status/924848412842971136?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
However, Spacey's apology is him shedding crocodile tears as there are way more allegations than just Anthony Rapp that have come out in the past. While the media wants to report that Spacey is gay and he is sorry for sexually assaulting Anthony Rapp there are other cases against the actor. Spacey was fingered as being on infamous mogul Jeffrey Epstein's Lolita Express on at least one occasion.
"In 2002, as New York has reported, Clinton recruited Epstein to make his plane available for a week-long anti-poverty and anti-AIDS tour of Africa with Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker, billionaire creep Ron Burkle, Clinton confidant Gayle Smith (who now serves on Barack Obama's National Security Council), and others. The logs from that trip show that Maxwell, Kellen, and a woman named Chauntae Davis joined the entourage for five days," Gawker wrote.
He was also mentioned in another Gawker article being spotted years ago partying with Bryan Singer and a group of boys by one source, a security guard who worked at the Chateau Marmon.Then there is the other more recent allegation by Award-winning Journalist, and Aspiring Filmmaker, Heather Unruh who tweeted that the Weinstein scandal has emboldened her to tell the truth about the actor earlier this month before the scandal broke.

[RELATED: History Of Elite Pedophilia In Hollywood PT 3]
I thought pedophilia was against the law? Apparently not for Hollywood who idolizes director Roman Polanski who was convicted of raping a 13-year-old girl Samantha Gailey and Woody Allen who was accused of raping his own daughter. Instead the media and Hollywood just give a free pass because it's an open secret that any of this type of behavior goes on.
UPDATE:
Kevin Spacey blocked me on Twitter after calling him out for his ties to Jeffrey Epstein and Bryan Singer.
For those that follow me I alluded that Kevin Spacey was a pedophile with a coded message tweet last Sunday these allegations have been floating around for quite sometime.
https://twitter.com/An0nKn0wledge/status/922095916559020032
A third allegation against Kevin Spacey has been made by a woman named Nadine West, the Dailymail reported.

Interesting article and I didn't realise he had such a history of this type of thing.

This should get quite interesting. It's like pulling the toilet chain on Holliwood and flushing out all the crap.

Even by the most lax definition of the words what Spacey did could not be classified as "Rape" or "Pedophilia"

An0nkn0wledge? I realize that I have just walked into the lion's den, but I do have to speak up on this issue. While the quality of your writing itself is highly commendable, I still have to agree with Pawnuts in his contention that Kevin Spacey's actions had nothing to do with pedophilia. Nowhere in your article did you mention about Spacey preying on a prepubescent child. Anthony Rapp was a teenager in 1986 when he had his sexual encounter with Spacey. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) specifies that a pedophile is someone 16 years of age or older who is sexually attracted to a prepubescent child younger than 13 years of age (younger than 11 years of age under certain circumstances), who is five years younger than them. I'm not trying to put angel wings on Kevin Spacey, but nobody can call his actions something that they are not despite how wrongful they may be. I find it admirable that you are a journalist for three different agencies, but keep in mind that news agencies have a bad habit of allowing their journalists to take writer's license with the definitions of "pedophile" and "pedophilia." The Wikipedia describes the common misuse of the term "pedophilia" and its harms. I'm not trying to antagonize you, but I also don't want you to fall into the same circumstances that Elon Musk did after he indiscriminately used the term "pedophile" against someone and that same person slapped him with a defamation lawsuit.
Now, did what Kevin Spacey do to Anthony Rapp in 1986 constitute attempted rape? It would certainly appear to lean in that direction inasmuch as Spacey jumped on top of Anthony Rapp when he attempted to get with him sexually. However, that would be something that a court of law would have to determine. Each and every state jurisdiction has its own definition of what rape is and is not.
There was one incident in your article that you did mention that did constitute pedophilia, and that was when Woody Allen raped his own daughter when she was 7 years old. Even if it hadn't been pedophilia, it still would have been clearly wrong. In any event, what that incident brings to mind is a point that I have made to you in the past regarding the defective inheritance laws in our nation. Jose Menendez cut his two sons out of his will after he sexually abused them for years. A Dupont heir in Delaware sexually molested his own two kids, but the children's mother still had to take him to court to ensure that he could not deprive his two kids of his estate upon his death. No abusive parent has any right to disinherit their children as far as I'm concerned; and like Jose Menendez and the Dupont heir, Woody Allen should be obligated by law to keep his daughter, Dylan Farrow, in his will despite any tensions that may have flared between them as a result of Dylan Farrow blowing the whistle on her father. At the end of the day, we need laws in this nation that prohibit parents, especially pedophile parents, from disinheriting their children under any circumstances. Figuratively speaking, child advocates need to put less energy into raising the statutory age of consent to 25 years old in every state and more energy into passing laws that would prohibit parents from disinheriting their children under any circumstances.

Anthony Rapp said that the Harvey Weinstein stuff made him want to reveal what happened to him, and I hope his allegations in turn will encourage other people in the entertainment industry to speak up about other abusers, not just Weinstein and Spacey. We need to purge Hollywood of ALL the rapists.

The title is "rape" but it the body of the article doesn't contain forced sexual intercourse. I hate to go against the angry mob but let us be accurate. It comes down to him touching sexually an adolescent boy. I am not going to argue that's okay, though.
Now there are many straight couples where one is a minor and the other is not. It is legal to marry at the age of 14 in the province of Quebec in Canada given consent of the parents. There must of been some sexual advances before such marriages in most of those cases. It's not quite pedophilia and not quite rape.
There is a lot of legal precedent for this kind of thing but between consenting parties. These were not consenting parties!

@leprechaun In a nutshell, forcible rape is a violent act of sexual brutality against the will of another person, whereas statutory rape of a minor is merely a legal construct that is entirely predicated upon the statutory age of consent in a given state jurisdiction and how much older the perpetrator has to be than the minor with whom he or she has sexual intercourse. In light of that I agree with your posts, leprechaun, my conclusion is that the two said offenses may carry the same name in their legal wording, but they are worlds apart in terms of what actually takes place whenever either one of these offenses is committed.

But they're also very liberal and so emotionally invested in this industry that I doubt they'll make as big of an uproar :( They all pretty much jumped on the #metoo bandwagon but not a peep about the Kevin Spacey allegations.
