They include exposing himself in front of a 19-year-old & laying on top of a 17-year-old in his underwear.

The floodgates of Kevin Spacey sexual assault allegations have opened. After Star Trek: Discovery actor Anthony Rapp courageously opened up about Spacey's alleged attempt to seduce him when he was 14 and Spacey was 26 years old, more actors have begun to come forward with similar stories.

"It seems that it only took a male under 30 to make Mr. Spacey feel free to touch us," said Mexican actor Roberto Cavazos, who added that many young men have a "Kevin Spacey story." On Facebook, Cavazos opened up about the period when Spacey was the artistic director at the Old Vic theater in London between 2004 and 2015, which was also a period that Cavazos appeared in a number of plays.

He recalled several "unpleasant encounters" with the House of Cards actor that "bordered on harassment" and detailed Spacey's routine of inviting young actors to the Old Vic to talk about their careers. "When they arrived at the theatre, the gentleman had prepared a picnic with champagne on the stage, beautifully lit," he explained of the habit. He also said that Spacey was regularly found in the Old Vic bar allegedly "squeezing whoever caught his attention." In response to these allegations, the Old Vic has said it received no complaints of inappropriate behavior, but has opened up a confidential complaint process if anyone wants to come forward.

Separately from the Old Vic, a West Sussex barman, Daniel Beal, has claimed that Spacey exposed himself when Beal was only 19 years old and then gave him a PS5,000 watch to keep him quiet. According to The Sun, Beal was having a cigarette break when Spacey sat next to him on a bench, whipped his dick out, and allegedly said "it's big, isn't it?" Beal sold the watch the next day because he "felt dirty wearing it."

In another allegation against the actor, filmmaker Tony Montana accused Spacey of groping him in a bar in 2003 when Montana was in his thirties. "I went up to order a drink and Kevin came up to me and put his arm around me," Montana told Radar Online. "He was telling me to come with him, to leave the bar. He put his hand on my crotch forcefully and grabbed my whole package." Then, Spacey allegedly said: "This designates ownership."

For six months after the incident, Montana says he had PTSD and has only come forward now because of Rapp's courage this week to open up about Spacey. "This wasn't something people were talking about openly," he said. "It still feels awkward. I still feel what I felt then. I put it into the back of my mind until I saw him come forward."

As if that weren't enough, yet another story has emerged. Speaking to the UK's Victoria Derbyshire program, a man, who wanted to remain anonymous and goes by John in the news piece, talked about a time when he was 17 years old in the 1980s and had been invited by Spacey to come to New York after meeting him at a summer theater program when he was 16.

During his weekend in NY, Spacey allegedly became affectionate and "put his hand on John's thigh, an arm around his shoulder and rubbed his arm."

As they went to bed, John claims Spacey asked him to sleep in his bed with him, which he declined to do and opted for sleeping on the couch. In the morning, he discovered Spacey's head on his stomach and arms wrapped tight around him. "He was in his underwear, I was fully clothed," John said. On the second night there, Spacey reportedly tried to be affectionate again, which caused John to burst into tears. "I couldn't articulate any more what was happening to me. I was scared," he explained, adding that "I was uncomfortable at best, traumatised at worst."

In response to the mounting allegations against Spacey, Netflix has suspended production indefinitely on House of Cards and he's been dropped as the recipient of a special Emmy award.
