Rapp was only 14 at the time.

Spacey writing on Twitter, apologized for the incident and claimed he could not remember what happened at the time.

He wrote: “…I owe him (Rapp) the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior and I am sorry for the feelings he described having carried with him all these years.”

Spacey also used the opportunity to make his sexual orientation public. “I choose now to live as a gay man”, he said.
