Through a statement, the Crown Prosecution Service reported that American actor Kevin Spacey has been charged in the United Kingdom with four counts of sexual assault against three men and inciting a person to “perform sexual activities without consent.”
Allegations of sexual assault against Spacey were first made in 2017, when several men who worked with him at the Old Vic theater in London between 2005 and 2013, when the actor was artistic director, denounced his alleged misconduct. .
Two charges relate to acts of sexual assault in March 2005, in London, against the same applicant. Another sexual assault concerns a second complainant in August 2008, who also accuses him of forcing him into penetrative sexual activity without his consent.
Finally, Spacey is accused of a fourth sexual assault on a third complainant in April 2013, in Gloucestershire (southwest England). Police said the complainants, whose names have not been made public, are now in their 30s and 40s.
Rosemary Ainslie, chief of the Crown Prosecution Service’s (CPS) Special Crimes Division, said the charges follow a review of evidence gathered by the London Metropolitan Police.
CPS has authorized criminal charges against Kevin Spacey, 62, for four counts of sexual assault against three men. He has also been accused of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent. […] CPS reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against Mr. Spacey are ongoing and that he is entitled to a fair trial.
The actor has also been the subject of investigations in the United States. Most of the charges concern men, often young men or even teenagers. This wave of accusations has had serious consequences on the career and reputation of the two-time Oscar-winning actor.
