Kevin Spacey is actually a well respected and long tenured actor with multiple awards. Yes it was definitely wrong, and he should be punished. It's just a shame that his reputation is now ruined and he will most likely only be remembered for this act.
Take it from somebody who’s been there, this happens a hell of a lot more than you’ll ever know. Sad, but true. I’ve been working on a book about this very thing and the people who have read it are mortified. As was I, who actually witnessed worse than this. The criminal justice system is a joke. The worse part is working for people who are elected, and wanting re- elected. This ought to tell you how things really work.
Without too much major detail, it’s no secret that your status in the community and the size of your wallet directly determines any sentencing or punishment. But the real problem is there really no checks and balances that judges have to answer for. I saw a defense attorney sleep through a whole trial at one time, the judge never admonished him and this young black man was sent prison. Absolutely no representation at all . When I was brought up I was told to let it go.
I have seen judges manipulate the newspaper/press because of something they didn’t like was written about them or a particular court case. The reporter was brought into his office and reprimanded to hell and back and then told you rewrite the column.
I once saw the judge, defense Atty, prosecutor making fun of the defendant talking about what a “fuckin idiot” he was. And then the judge, basically like he was directing a movie, told the attorneys to argue with certain point while at trial, to make it look as if they were fighting for their client. He went to prison.
And attorney friend of mine represented the judges ex-son in law, and was brought into chambers and literally threatened with never winning another case if they screwed over his daughter. Who’s just about like the girl in this article. My atty friend said “fuck him”, and I have to live with myself.
And this really is Not even the worst of it. Court filings come up missing, or never brought to trial, or just kind of pushed under the rug. If you do stand up to them and complain to the labor board or even the ACLU, they will tell you they will not intervene and anything above the common pleas court level. Very very sad. The working class gets fucked every time!

When did officers receive sexual favors in exchange for leniency?

Who cares, it's meaningless if not prosecuted. If I do a crime can I quit my job to make it go away, no!
