Confidential. Pearce said that at the time, he responded to Spacey’s alleged advances by brushing them off and thinking “Ah, that’s nothing.

Ah, no, that’s nothing”.He continued: “I did that for five months and really, I was sort of scared of Kevin because he’s quite an aggressive man… But I was young and susceptible, and he targeted me, no question.”Pearce then said that he had only been able to fully realise what happened after allegations against Spacey came to light a few years back: “I was in London working on something, and I heard [the reports] and I broke down and sobbed, and I couldn’t stop.

I think it really dawned on me the impact that had occurred and how I sort of brushed it off and how I had either shelved it or blocked it out or whatever.
