Kevin Spacey Accuser Drops Civil Lawsuit Against Actor

A young man who says Kevin Spacey groped him in a Nantucket bar in 2016 has dropped his civil lawsuit against the actor.

Mitchell Garabedian, a lawyer for the man, announced in an email Friday that the suit filed June 26 in Nantucket Superior Court has been voluntarily dismissed. No reason was provided either by Garabedian or in the court filing. Garabedian said he would have no further comment.

An email was left Friday requesting comment from Alan Jackson, Spacey's attorney.

Garabedian's client, the son of Boston TV anchor Heather Unruh, alleged Spacey got him drunk and sexually assaulted him at the Club Car restaurant where the then-18-year-old man worked.

Spacey still faces a criminal charge in the alleged 2016 incident. He pleaded not guilty to indecent assault and battery in the case in January.
