Kevin Spacey Faces New Sexual Abuse Lawsuit in the UK
Four men have previously alleged sexual assault against the Oscar-winning actor, who was recently acquitted of similar charges.
Kevin Spacey, the Academy Award-winning actor, is facing a new civil lawsuit in the UK for sexual abuse, filed in the High Court in London.
This development comes approximately 18 months after he was acquitted of previous criminal charges in a separate trial.
According to court documents, the lawsuit also names the Old Vic Theatre in London, where Spacey served as artistic director from 2003 to 2015. However, specific details regarding the claims made in the latest lawsuit have not been publicly disclosed.
A spokesperson for the plaintiffs' law firm confirmed the filing of the lawsuit.
Spacey, now 65, has not publicly responded to requests for comment regarding the new allegations, as reported by Reuters.
Spacey, who garnered critical acclaim and won Oscars for his roles in 'American Beauty' and 'The Usual Suspects,' had been one of Hollywood’s most prominent figures until he faced sexual assault allegations in 2017. Following the initial accusations, he was removed from the cast of the Netflix series 'House of Cards.'
In a subsequent UK trial held in 2023, Spacey was acquitted of charges related to the sexual assault of four men in the UK that took place between 2004 and 2013. The jury delivered their verdict on July 26, 2023, coinciding with Spacey’s 64th birthday, resulting in his freedom from all allegations stemming from that case.
