Just as it resumes, the New York trial for a sexual misconduct lawsuit filed against Kevin Spacey has hit a bump in the road. Spacey’s lawyer, Jennifer Keller, tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday morning, per The Hollywood Reporter.
Despite the positive test, legal proceedings were back underway on Thursday in the Manhattan courtroom. U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan asserted that his main concern regarding the positive test was ensuring the jury’s safety and continued adherence to all courtroom protocols. Per Kaplan, all of the jury members are at least partially vaccinated.
Keller was last in the courtroom on Wednesday, when she questioned actor Anthony Rapp about his allegation that Spacey made unwanted sexual advances on him in 1986, when Rapp was 14 and Spacey was 26. Spacey has consistently denied Rapp’s claim.
