Accuser says he told Kevin Spacey after crude advance, 'I don’t bat for that team'

 A man who met Kevin Spacey in a pub says that at one point when they were alone during a night of heavy drinking with others, the actor kissed his neck twice and grabbed his crotchSpacey, 63, has pleaded not guilty to a dozen charges that could send him to prison if he is convicted. His lawyer said Spacey denies all allegations of nonconsensual acts and suggested the accusers are looking for payouts from a wealthy star.

Allegations by four men from 2001 to 2013 while the American actor worked at the Old Vic Theatre include seven counts of sexual assault, three counts of indecent assault and causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.The witness, who can't be named under British court rules, said Spacey had invited him and others back to a house where the actor was staying in the Cotswolds to “carry on the party” after the pub closed. Spacey offered booze

But he said he was shaken by what occurred later after he accidently let Spacey's dog out of the house while returning from smoking on the veranda. He testified that he managed to catch the little pooch and apologized to Spacey, who said not to worry and approached him in a “huggy” posture.“We did an awkward man hug as I call it," the witness said. “He hugged me, I did a sort of pat on the back type of thing.”

When Spacey was questioned by police about the allegation, he said that he did not recall kissing anyone's neck or grabbing a crotch and that he would not have done such a thing without an indication of consent, according to the prosecutor's opening statement.Spacey said it was “entirely possible and indeed likely” he made a “clumsy pass” that he had forgotten and might have touched someone's crotch in the process, the prosecution said
