"Mr. Spacey is grateful to live in a country where the citizens have a right to trial by impartial jurors who make their decision based on evidence and not rumor or social media," Spacey said through his lawyer Jennifer Keller in a statement to Fox News Digital at the time. "He is deeply thankful to this particular jury. This was a highly educated group of six women and five men, all except one college graduate and most with graduate degrees. Their verdict was swift and decisive. Justice was done today."

The former "House of Cards" actor was accused of assault, battery and emotional distress stemming from an alleged incident against Rapp in 1986, when the latter was 14 years old.
Spacey still faces another trial in London on claims that he sexually assaulted multiple men in the U.K. He pleaded not guilty in July and is expected to go on trial next year.
