When Rapp first made the accusation, Spacey issued a statement saying he didn't remember the encounter but apologized. In the lawsuit, the plaintiff said Spacey attempted to assault him sexually on his final visit. In July, prosecutors in Massachusetts dropped a case after the 18-year-old man who accused Spacey of groping him refused to testify. The Associated Press does not normally name people alleging sexual assault unless they come forward publicly, as Rapp has done.

Spacey denies groping the man, whose mother first went public with the allegations in 2017. The man did not receive a settlement to drop the civil case, his mother said.

Prosecutors in Massachusetts on Wednesday dropped the criminal charges against Academy Award-winning actor Kevin Spacey. Nantucket District Court Clerk's office District Attorney Michael O'Keefe said in a court filing "the unavailability of the complaining witness" as their reason for dropping the lawsuit. The original criminal complaint stemmed from a young man accusing Spacey of groping him at a bar in 2016 when he was 18-years-old. According to the court filing, the suit was dismissed "with prejudice," which means it cannot be refiled. His first accuser, actor Anthony Rapp, said Spacey climbed on top of him on a bed when Rapp was 14 and Spacey 26.

Kevin Spacey attends the Build Series to discuss his new play 'Clarence Darrow' at Build Studio on May 24, 2017 in New York City. Massachusetts prosecutors on Wednesday dropped a criminal groping case against actor Kevin Spacey, saying the man who had accused the Academy Award winner of fondling him as an 18-year-old in a Nantucket bar in 2016 now is unavailable as a witness. Spacey's lawyer asked for the case to be dismissed immediately at the hearing. The accuser alleged that Spacey got him drunk in the Club Car bar on the island of Nantucket, and then groped him. "I'm certainly not going to pay the price for the thing I didn't do," Spacey said on the video.

Spacey's defense lawyer Alan Jackson on Monday seized on the accuser's Fifth Amendment claim to demand that the case be tossed out by Nantucket District Court Judge Thomas Barrett. He then refused to testify further, citing the Fifth Amendment. The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects people from having to incriminate themselves. Still, if the accuser decides to continue to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights, there are other ways for the prosecution to proceed with the case. While being granted immunity would allow the accuser to testify, his testimony could be seriously undercut by cross-examination by Spacey's lawyer.

One of his lawyers, Alan Jackson, told the judge they believe the accuser and his mother "deleted things off the phone....they sanitized the phone." After testifying he didn't delete anything from the phone, the accuser consulted with his attorney and decided to exercise his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. When asked by Jackson if he knew it was a crime to delete messages, the accuser said he was not previously aware of that. He said he never told anyone to delete text messages from the phone. When asked about possible missing text messages, Mitchell Garabedian, a family lawyer, told CNN he had no comment.

The pretrial hearing in Massachusetts focused on the cell phone the accuser used to text his girlfriend and send a video during the alleged assault. After testifying he didn't delete anything from the phone, the accuser consulted with his attorney and decided to exercise his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Spacey's attorney, Alan Jackson, argued that "this case needs to be dismissed, and it needs to be dismissed today." When asked by Jackson if he was aware that it was a crime to delete messages, the accuser said he was not previously aware of that. When asked about possible missing text messages, Mitchell Garabedian, a family lawyer, told CNN he had no comment.

At issue in Monday's pretrial hearing is the cell phone on which the accuser texted his girlfriend and sent a video during the alleged assault. However, the accuser and his family have said they don't have it and don't know where it is. In legal documents, the defense has alleged that potential evidence was deleted before the phone was handed over. "He and or his mother deleted the exculpatory texts that were on the phone," defense attorney Alan Jackson said in a hearing this month. When asked about possible missing text messages, Garabedian told CNN he had no comment.

The civil lawsuit accused Spacey of explicit sexual behavior and infliction of mental distress. CNN is not naming the accuser because he is an alleged victim of sexual assault.

But Spacey still faces a criminal case related to the man's allegation. Tara Miltimore, a prosecutor in the Cape & Islands District Attorney's Office, in an email to CNBC said, "The criminal case is independent of the civil case and will go forward." The accuser's suit sought unspecified damages for "severe and permanent mental distress and emotional injuries." Garabedian declined to comment further on the dismissal, citing the pending criminal case. A hearing in that criminal case is scheduled for Monday.
