US Actor Kevin Spacey Denies Seven New Sex Offences
13/01/2023 23:34 in National News

Kevin Spacey, an Oscar-winning actor, refuted allegations that he committed seven additional sexual offenses against a man in Britain in the early 2000s on Friday.

 

The 63-year-old actress and "House of Cards" and "American Beauty" star made a videolink appearance at Southwark Crown Court in south London.

 

He talked to establish his identification and to enter a not guilty plea to the accusations.

 

Numerous claims of sexual misconduct have derailed Spacey's illustrious career, despite the fact that he has never been found guilty of a crime.

 

The actor now faces a total of 12 allegations in the UK after being hit with new charges involving one guy in November.

 

He appeared in court at London's Old Bailey last summer to enter a not guilty plea to five allegations of comparable sexual offenses against three other males.

 

Spacey, who is now free on unconditional bail, will stand trial beginning June 6 in London for a total of four weeks.

 

Three counts of indecent assault, three counts of sexual assault, and one case of inciting a person to engage in sexual conduct without their consent are included in the newly filed accusations. These alleged crimes occurred between 2001 and 2005.

 

 

Under English law, it is illegal to identify any of the alleged victims, and there are limits on how much information may be shared before a trial.

 

With parts like the middle-aged father in "American Beauty" who has feelings for a teenager, the serial killer in "Se7en," and the antagonist in "Superman Returns," Spacey had a very successful acting career.

 

Between 2004 to 2015, he served as creative director of London's Old Vic Theatre.

 

All of this accomplishment was undone in 2017 when he became one of the first celebrities to be implicated in the worldwide #MeToo movement and was accused of sexual assault by several young men.

 

He was fired from other projects as well as the last season of the political drama "House of Cards."

 

An alleged $40 million sexual misconduct case against Spacey was rejected by a New York judge last year.

 

Anthony Rapp, an actor, made the complaint that the celebrity had abused him when he was just 14. After being informed that it was too late to file a criminal complaint, he filed the civil lawsuit.

 

2019 saw the dismissal of Spacey's sexual assault and indecent assault charges in Massachusetts.

 

Spacey has refuted every claim of sexual assault in court hearings.
