The charge, of indecent assault and battery, is a felony.
The judge granted a request by Spacey’s attorneys to preserve the alleged victim’s cellphone data for six months after the date of the alleged assault.
At a minutes-long arraignment on the ritzy Massachusetts island of Nantucket on Monday, Kevin Spacey did not appear to utter a word as he appeared before a judge alongside his lawyers.
Judge Thomas S Barrett said Spacey would not have to appear at that hearing, but that he must be available by phone during it.
