Kevin Spacey's lawyer claimed three of his four accusers were "liars" who fabricated sexual assault allegations against the actor in order to receive a potential payout.

Spacey was an easy mark for men who hopped on a "bandwagon" and fabricated stories in hopes of a payout, attorney Patrick Gibbs said. "A man who is promiscuous, not publicly out, although everyone in the business knows he’s gay, who wants to be just a normal guy," Gibbs said in describing his famous client. "It’s a life that makes you an easy target when the internet turns against you, and you’re tried by social media." Spacey is on trial after pleading not guilty to charges of sexual assault, indecent assault and causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.The jury of nine men and three women is due to begin deliberating on Monday in Southwark Crown Court in London.

Throughout the trial, four men testified about similar encounters that involved Spacey allegedly groping them.The prosecutor emphasized during Wednesday's closing arguments that the men's accounts were similar not because they had conspired to bring Spacey down, but because groping was reportedly Spacey's "trademark" move.

The acts alleged between 2001 and 2013 range from unwanted touching to aggressive crotch-grabbing and, in one instance, performing oral sex on an unconscious man.
