Kevin Spacey facing additional accusations of sexual misconduct
The award-winning actor Kevin Spacey is facing additional accusations of sexual misconduct this week. US filmmaker Tony Montana told BBC that Spacey “groped” him in 2003. Mexican actor Roberto Cavazos said Spacey “routinely preyed” on young male actors. Cavazos wrote in a Facebook post, “It seems that it only took a male under 30 so that Mr. Spacey would feel free to touch us. It was so common that it even became a local joke (in very bad taste).” In addition, a British man named Daniel Beal said the actor exposed himself to him in 2010. Another victim, who wished to remain anonymous, told the BBC that Spacey harassed him as early as in the mid-1980s. He said he woke up to find Spacey on top of him, in nothing but his underwear. Production on the sixth and final season of "House of Cards" has been halted after star Kevin Spacey was accused of sexual assault by an actor who claims he was a minor at the time of the alleged incident.Netflix and Media Rights Capital, which produces the series, confirmed the move in a joint statement issued Tuesday."MRC and Netflix have decided to suspend production on 'House of Cards' season six, until further notice, to give us time to review the current situation and to address any concerns of our cast and crew,” the statement read.On Sunday, actor Anthony Rapp told BuzzFeed about an alleged encounter with Spacey at a party in 1986. At the time, Rapp was 14 years old and Spacey, according to Rapp, made a sexual advance toward him.Spacey issued a statement late Sunday, claiming he did not recall the incident but apologized for what he said would have been "inappropriate drunken behavior.""But if I did behave then as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior, and I am sorry for the feelings he describes having carried with him all these years," Spacey said.Netflix announced on Monday that Season 6 of "House of Cards" would be the show's last.The decision to end the series, according to multiple sources close to production, was made months prior to the allegation against Spacey.Production on Season 6 had been taking place in the Baltimore area for about two weeks, a spokesperson for the Maryland Department of Commerce told CNN.On Monday, Netflix and MRC said they were "deeply troubled " by the allegation against Spacey, and said representatives from both companies had been sent to set to ensure the cast and crew "feel safe and supported."Spacey had not previously been scheduled to work on set on Monday, according to a statement from the companies.CNN contributed to this article

Production on the sixth and final season of "House of Cards" has been halted after star Kevin Spacey was accused of sexual assault by an actor who claims he was a minor at the time of the alleged incident.

Netflix and Media Rights Capital, which produces the series, confirmed the move in a joint statement issued Tuesday.

"MRC and Netflix have decided to suspend production on 'House of Cards' season six, until further notice, to give us time to review the current situation and to address any concerns of our cast and crew,” the statement read.

Spacey issued a statement late Sunday, claiming he did not recall the incident but apologized for what he said would have been "inappropriate drunken behavior."

"But if I did behave then as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior, and I am sorry for the feelings he describes having carried with him all these years," Spacey said.

Netflix announced on Monday that Season 6 of "House of Cards" would be the show's last.

The decision to end the series, according to multiple sources close to production, was made months prior to the allegation against Spacey.

Production on Season 6 had been taking place in the Baltimore area for about two weeks, a spokesperson for the Maryland Department of Commerce told CNN.

On Monday, Netflix and MRC said they were "deeply troubled " by the allegation against Spacey, and said representatives from both companies had been sent to set to ensure the cast and crew "feel safe and supported."

Spacey had not previously been scheduled to work on set on Monday, according to a statement from the companies.
