that one accusation

Nevermind the 15+ others...

Fifteen others then came forward alleging similar abuse,[10] including Boston anchorwoman Heather Unruh, who alleged that Spacey sexually assaulted her son;[11][12] filmmaker Tony Montana; actor Roberto Cavazos;[13] Richard Dreyfuss' son Harry;[14] and eight people who worked on House of Cards.[15] The Guardian was contacted by "a number of people" who alleged that Spacey "groped and behaved in an inappropriate way with young men" as artistic director of The Old Vic theatre.[16][17][18]

And it's not like he's been cleared on all of these:

A judge in Los Angeles this summer approved an arbitrator's decision to order Spacey to pay $30.9 million to the makers of "House of Cards" for violating his contract by sexually harassing crew members.

But sure, I'm sure that a 14yo child not having the foresight to obtain and keep sufficient evidence against an older actor until they're old enough and ready to confront the issue, certainly means that the person they accused is innocent.
