Ari Behn, the former son-in-law of Harald, the king of Norway, has accused actor Kevin Spacey of groping him after a Nobel Peace Prize concert in 2007, reported the BBC.
“I am a generous person, but this was a bit more than I had in mind,” said Behn. “We had a great talk, he sat right beside me. After five minutes he said, ‘Hey, let’s go out and have a cigarette’. Then he puts his hand under the table and grabs me by the balls.”
Behn added that he opted out of the conversation soon after the incident. “My hair was dark at the time, I was 10 years younger and right up his alley,” he said.
Since October, there have been a series of allegations of sexual harassment and assault against Spacey. The actor was dropped from Netflix’s House of Cards and replaced in Christopher Plummer’s upcoming thriller All the Money in the World.
A spokesman for Spacey has said that the actor was “taking the time necessary to seek evaluation and treatment” in the wake of the allegations.
