NANTUCKET, Mass. (AP) — Kevin Spacey's lawyer is calling the case accusing the actor of groping a young man in 2016 "ridiculous."
Defense attorney Alan Jackson blasted prosecutors Monday during a hearing at the Nantucket District Court, where Spacey also made a surprise appearance.
Spacey didn't speak during the hearing or answer reporters' questions when he arrived and left the courthouse.
He has pleaded not guilty to a charge of indecent assault and battery.
Jackson accused prosecutors of falsely denying they had access to information about the accuser's cellphone.
First Assistant District Attorney Brian Glenny denied his office lied about having access to the phone.
Jackson asked the judge to set a trial this summer because Spacey is "suffering." The judge said the earliest the trial will happen is sometime this fall.
