we just saw kevin spacey walk in. just remind viewers what he's facing today at this arraignment. >> reporter: it is indecent assault and battery and a felony under the commonwealth of massachusetts. it is up to five years in prison. two and a half years in a state local jail and he would have to register as a sex offender. so this is a very serious offense right here. and this is the arraignment. kevin spacey did not want to come. that is the headline, he didn't want to come. his attorneys are really mounting a constitutional argument because they are saying there is so much publicity that the jury pool on this small island of nantucket could be tainted and he could not then get a fair trial. that didn't work because this is a constitutionally-based procedure and an arraignment, he will be read the charges. he may or may not enter a plea. it is up to him. and it's very short but extremely important for that aspect of knowing what you are being charged with. so it is the second floor in that courtroom. you could see t

kevin spacey brought home drink after drink after drink and when my son was drunk kevin spacey grabbed my son's genitals. these are not the only allegations that kevin spacey faces. in 2017 the actor anthony rapp accused him of trying to seduce him in 1986 — when he was 1a. kevin spacey responded with this statement — saying he didn't remember anything of this — but that if what was described did happen, then he owed anthony rapp an apology. there were other allegations too — and industry reaction was swift. he was replaced in this film — all the money in the world — by christopher plummer. and netflix dropped him from house of cards. earlier i spoke to nada tawfik who is outside the court in nantucket. she explained what happened during today's hearing. we got a preview of what the defence plans are that this goes to trial. his lawyers pressed detectives and prosecutors saying that the accuser lied about his age to kevin spacey, he said he was 23 when in fact he was only 18 at the time, that he had been heavily drinking with kevin spacey throughout the night, and also, tha

spacey there injust a this courthouse to see kevin spacey there in just a few hours. you trusted me, even though you knew you shouldn't. kevin spacey had a talent for commanding an audience. but this bizarre video, posted just as newsflash that the actor would face felony charges of sexual assault, left many scratching their heads. but you wouldn't believe the worst without evidence, would you? you wouldn't rush to judgments without facts, would you? spacey reprised his former role as frank underwood from the show house of cards, and referenced the fictional death of his character and the very real accusations against him. but if it wasn't an attempt at a comeback, his upcoming court appearance will certainly complicate that. after a string of allegations, kevin spacey has been charged with groping an 18—year—old male, at this bar in nantucket injuly of 2016. to kevin spacey, i want to say this. shame on you for what you did to my son. heather unruh said her son did not report the crime to police right away out of embarrassment and fear. she called spacey a sexual
