Kevin Spacey Charged With Seven More Sexual Offenses By UK Authorities
Actor Kevin Spacey is facing seven new sexual offense charges in the U.K., prosecutors said Wednesday.
Spacey is now charged with 11 counts in the U.K.
The Crown Prosecution Service's Special Crime Division said the new charges relate to a single man for incidents alleged to have occurred between 2001 and 2004.
Spacey starred in Netflix's "House of Cards" and the movie "American Beauty" before he was accused of sexual abuse in the U.S. and U.K.
In July, Spacey pleaded not guilty in London to four charges of sexual assault and one count of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.
A trial is set for next year.
Last month, a New York court dismissed a $40 million sexual misconduct lawsuit brought against Spacey by actor Anthony Rapp. Rapp claimed Spacey made sexual advances toward him when he was 14.
A jury found that Rapp, who was seeking damages for "emotional anguish," failed to prove that the two-time Oscar winner had "touched a sexual or intimate body part," leading Judge Lewis Kaplan to dismiss the civil case.
In 2019 charges against the actor of indecent assault and sexual assault were dropped in Massachusetts.
