This was announced by the Metropolitan Police on Monday. At the end of May, the British public prosecutor’s office (Crown Prosecution Service) announced that charges against Spacey for sexual assault had been approved.
There are a total of three cases in London from 2005 and 2008 and one case in the south-west English county of Gloucestershire from 2013, according to the authority. In one of the cases, Spacey is charged with coercing a person into “penetrative sexual activity,” it said.
Allegations of sexual assault and harassment were raised against the actor in autumn 2017 in the course of the MeToo debate. Crew members of the Netflix series “House of Cards” also accused Spacey of sexual harassment. The streaming giant then canceled the collaboration. In the summer of 2021, the two-time Oscar winner (“The Usual Suspects”, “American Beauty”) was back in front of the camera for the first time since the allegations.
