“I was in a state of shock,” he told CNN. “He was a man in a very powerful position on the show and I was someone very low on the totem pole and on the food chain there.”
Another crew member claims Spacey routinely touched him without consent.
“He would put his hands on me in weird ways,” the crew member told CNN.
