This happens more often than most realize. Too many people get away with lying for money and it just makes it easy for others to do the same thing since there's apparently no risk and a great reward.

Do people believe all the accusers were lying? I sure as heck don't!
And after he was exonerated, he went to celebrate at club...no doubt looking for his next victim.
His hubris will do him in...it's sad that the jury was swayed by testimony from Elton John (who gave vague, non-committal support to Spacey) and John's husband.

I'll be "the stick in the mud" here. I worked 16 years as a record clerk at a criminal court house. What an education. Divorced couple, ex-wife coaches daughter to accuse of father of sex abuse and incredibly ex-wife convinces her friend to coach her daughter to accuse the ex-father. A teacher at an elementary school managed to convince students they had been abused by another teacher- took a few years for investigators to unravel that-too many students accusing who had not been in contact with this teacher and the stories became more fantastic as time went by.
Tip for anyone using the services of a prostitute: if you don't pay, the prostitute will claim rape and frequently win the case.
Ex-husbands accuse ex-wives of abusing sons. On and on.
I for one will never know for sure what Spacey did. But from my experience at the courthouse, it is difficult to prove a case the older it is, the more victims come forward about the same perpetrator the greater the chance some want the attention; and if the victim voluntarily went to the perpetrators house/hotel room/ car, the greater the chance the jury thinks the victim was-the dreaded phrase-asking for it.
