Delving into the details of the alleged incident of sexual harassment by Spacey's third accuser, Montana said that Spacey groped him in 2003. The filmmaker says he was editing a documentary at Los Angeles hotspot Coronet when the House of Cards star walked in with a group of friends.

"I went up to order a drink and Kevin came up to me and put his arm around me. He was telling me to come with him, to leave the bar. (He) put his hand on my crotch forcefully and grabbed my whole package," Montana told radaronline.com.
Montana recalled that a seemingly intoxicated Spacey then said to him, "This designates ownership."
"I put my hand down and turned his thumb back to get his hand off it," Montana added.
