Kevin Spacey is being sued by a John Doe for sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, gender violence, and battery, according to The Blast. The alleged incident reportedly occurred at a Malibu residence in October of 2016 during a massage session.  

The plaintiff alleges Spacey groped him, forcibly moved his hand to his "scrotum and testicles," offered to perform oral sex, and attempted to kiss him after he was brought upstairs to perform a massage on the actor. 

“Spacey assaulted and battered plaintiff by forcing plaintiff to touch his scrotum, testicles, and penis, grabbing plaintiff’s shoulders and pulling him in for an apparent attempted forced kiss, and grabbing plaintiff’s genitalia,” thecomplaint, which was filed in LA Superior Court on Thursday, claims. "During these assaults, plaintiff repeatedly asked Spacey to allow him to leave, but Spacey blocked access to plaintiff's massage table and the door with his naked body." 

The Blastreports that the man who filed the lawsuit is seeking unspecified damages. 

This isn't the first time the Oscar winner has been accused of sexual misconduct. Last year, actor Anthony Rapp alleged that Spacey made a sexual advance in 1986 when Rapp was 14 and Spacey was 26. Since then, multiple other people have come forward to claim they have been the victim of sexual misconduct and assault at the hands of Spacey.
