Kevin Spacey’s anonymous accuser 'John Doe' dies amid sexual assault case

Hollywood star Kevin Spacey’s anonymous accuser, known publicly as ‘John Doe’, passed away in the midst of the sexual assault lawsuit.

The anonymous massage therapist, who had accused the ‘House of Cards’ actor of groping him, was confirmed dead by his attorney Genie Harrison.

"His untimely death was, to his family, a devastating shock that they are struggling to process and is so recent that they have not yet held his funeral service," the statement read.

It was revealed further in the statement that Spacey’s attorneys had filed the notice of Doe’s death on Tuesday afternoon which sets off a countdown spanning 90 days for Doe to be substituted by an estate.

As per Harrison’s statement, the actor and his attorneys had attempted to take advantage of the situation by filing the notice.

“Mr. Doe’s family must now open his estate at the same time as planning a funeral and processing their grief," he said.

"Mr. Doe was a dignified, kind, middle-aged man traumatised by Spacey’s alleged sexually depraved attack. As a result of this case, other victims from around the world have reached out to our firm. Mr. Doe believed their harrowing stories, and in his final months he looked forward to standing up for all of them. His fight for justice is still very much alive," he added.

Earlier in June, the accuser was directed to reveal his identity to the alleged harasser and his attorneys but was allowed by a judge to keep it under wraps.

Doe was one of the multiple who came forth accusing the actor of sexual abuse.
