Elton John testifies for the defense in Kevin Spacey's sexual assault trial
John appeared briefly in the London court by video link from Monaco after his husband, David Furnish, testified that Spacey did not attend the annual party at their Windsor home at the time that the accuser said he was attacked in a car.
John, who was wearing yellow tinted glasses, a dark jacket and light blue open-collar shirt, said the actor attended the party once in the early 2000s and arrived after flying to England on a private jet."He was an Oscar-winning actor and there was a lot of buzz and excitement that he was at the ball," said Furnish, who also testified from Monaco.
The alleged victim said he may have gotten the year wrong, but that he would not have forgotten the incident because it took his breath away and he was driving and almost crashed the car. Furnish said he was familiar with the accuser and described him as"charming," the same term Spacey used.
Spacey dismissed one man's fondling claims as"pure fantasy" and said he shared consensual encounters with two others who later regretted it. He accepted the claims of a fourth man, saying he had made a"clumsy pass" during a night of heavy drinking, but he took exception to the"crotch-grabbing" characterization.
John's testimony came just over a week after he wrapped up his 50-year touring career with a show in Stockholm.
