Kevin Spacey: He faces court in London this week

Kevin Spacey has been charged with four counts of sexual assault. He is due to appear in court in London on Thursday.

Kevin Spacey (62) is apparently expecting a court case in London: Spacey was accused of four sexual assaults by three men. He is also accused of having enticed a person to engage in sexual activity without consent. The actor is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates Court, a court in London, at 10am on Thursday (June 16).

Earlier, the Crown Prosecution Service, a law enforcement agency, reviewed the evidence collected by the Metropolitan Police and subsequently filed charges. The sexual assaults are said to have happened in March 2005 and August 2008 in London and in April 2013 in Gloucestershire. The man who accused Spacey of sexual assault in August 2008 also alleges that he pressured him into sexual activity without consent that same month.

Kevin Spacey wants to prove his innocence

Criminal charges were filed against the actor at the end of May. Spacey then said through his spokesman that he would “voluntarily appear in the UK as soon as practicable and defend me against these allegations”. The 62-year-old was “confident that this will prove my innocence”. Basically, however, he was “disappointed with the decision” that the allegations would even end up before a court in London.

Spacey was Artistic Director of the Old Vic Theater in London from 2004 to 2015. Numerous men had accused the actor of sexual assault from 2017 onwards in the course of the #MeToo debate.
