“Is Kevin Spacey a criminal sexual molester? I don’t know. Neither do you, unless you were actually molested by him, or, it seems, unless you’re the Boston Globe. ‘This Was A Criminal Act,’ the Globe headline blared, repeating former local news anchor Heather Unruh’s claim that Spacey groped her son at a bar in Nantucket last summer. The single quotes around the claim that Spacey is a criminal (who has yet to be indicted except in the media) don’t mitigate the headline’s clear presumption of guilt. They simply allow the Globe to level a sensational accusation while pretending to present an unbiased account of one.”
Read the commentary by Wendy Kaminer at WGBH News.
“Spacey reportedly met her “star-struck” 18 year old son at a bar and plied him with liquor, after her son claimed he was old enough to drink. Once her son was drunk, Spacey “stuck his hand” down his pants and “grabbed his genitals.” The young man was “only momentarily successful” in shifting away from Spacey and didn’t leave the bar until the actor went into the bathroom and a bystander urged him to run. ”
And rather than going to the police immediately, Heather Unruh waited a year, when it was politically convenient, the same exact time the LGBT establishment embarks on a gay purge.
