LITERARY
SDNY Review, Oct 20 – In
October 2022 Kevin Spacey was in court
facing claims of sexual misconduct
against then 14-year-old Anthony Rapp in
1986.
On October
20, the jury found no liability. Spacey
beat the Rapp.
Now, published hours after the verdict
there is a book
by Matthew Russell Lee, who live tweeted
and reported on the trial daily, and put
questions including about links to
Jeffrey Epstein to Spacey on Worth
Street outside.
The author was each day in the
courtroom of U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York Judge
Louis A. Kaplan, and tracking down the
claims of Kevin's brother Randy Fowler,
who confirmed their father was a
neo-Nazi but alleges Kevin stole his
story.
As the trial wound down, SDNY-admitted
lawyer Matthew Russell Lee dug deeper
into Spacey's time with Ghislaine
Maxwell, as they sat on dual thrones.
Material on these connections, the trial
and even some more speculative and
literary excursions featuring recurring
characters Kurt Wheelock and Michael
Randall Long, featured in the Ghislaine
Maxwell book "Maximum Maxwell" as noted
by New York Magazine, here,
made its way at the speed of the
Internet into the new book
"American
Ugly: Kevin Spacey Beats the Rapp, But
Dark Secrets Made Public in SDNY Live,"
by Matthew Russell Lee
E-book here;
paperbook forthcoming.
This review will leave it to
others to find over-reaches and typos.
For his reporting, Lee was banned
from the United Nations in 2018 by SG
Antonio Guterres, whose Media
Accrediation chief Melissa Fleming has
ignored appeals from a UN Special
Rapporteur on Freedom of
Expression and, pro bono, the law firm
of Quinn
Emanuel.
One might surmise that history leads to
some of the book's (over?)
identification with the
defendant.
A full scope instantaneous view
of and taking off from trials like US v.
Trevor Milton seems to be Inner City
Press' project
here.
And here
it is.
