Kevin Spacey Charged in UK With 4 Counts of Sexual Assault

LONDON — British prosecutors said Thursday they have charged actor Kevin Spacey with four counts of sexual assault against three men.

The Crown Prosecution Service said Spacey “has also been charged with causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.”

These alleged events took place in London in March 2005, August 2008 and April 2013 in west England.

Rosemary Ainslie, head of the service’s Special Crime Division, said the charges follow a review of evidence gathered by London’s Metropolitan Police.

British police in 2019 interrogated Spacey, who is a double Academy Award recipient aged 62 and claimed that several men had assaulted him.

The former “House of Cards” star ran London’s Old Vic Theatre between 2004 and 2015.
