The actor – who came out gay in 2017 – said he was “confident” he would be able to prove his innocence in court. Last month, Spacey revealed plans to “voluntarily appear” in UK courts in a bid to defend himself against the allegations. Representatives for Spacey did not immediately respond to the Post’s request for comment. The double Oscar winner – known for starring in ‘House of Cards’, ‘The Usual Suspects’ and ‘American Beauty’ – is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates Court in London on Thursday. Spacey is charged with four counts of sexual assault and one count of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without their consent. The alleged victims are all now in their thirties and 40s.įour of the alleged incidents took place in London between March 2005 and August 2008, and one in Gloucestershire, England, in April 2013. The troubled Hollywood star, 62, was questioned by cops in 2019 over allegations of several men who said they assaulted them while he was artistic director of London’s Old Vic theater between 20. Scandal-scarred actor Kevin Spacey has been formally charged with sexually assaulting three men in the UK as he is due to appear in a London court this week, British police have said.
