      Morality clauses arent contingent on the same “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard that criminal cases require.

      Its very possible the judge/jury thought Spacey was a creepy rapist, but didnt think the proof quite hit the high bar to convict.

      Civil vs criminal cases. The morality clause has a lower bar. The same situation with OJ Simpson.
