I feel like he may have had to come out in order to properly attempt to defend himself... it's been a poorly kept secret that Spacey is gay, but at the same time he's never officially announced it.
I get that it seems like suspicious timing, but the 'defense' would have been worse if he said "I'm not gay, so that never could have happened or at least I don't remember it". People would have heaped a lot more dirt on him for any statement to that effect. I think he basically had to come out in order to respond in any kind of rational/realistic way.
