A London jury has acquitted Kevin Spacey of sexual assault on accusations by four men that date back to 2001.
LONDON — A London jury acquitted Kevin Spacey on sexual assault charges on Wednesday after a four-week trial in which the actor said he was a"big flirt" who had consensual flings with men and whose only misstep was touching a man's groin while making a"clumsy pass."
He said he didn't remember a fourth incident at a small party at a home he rented in the country but accepted that he touched the groin of a man he had met at a pub during a night of heavy drinking. He said he had misread the man's interest in him and said he had probably made an awkward pass.

Several of the men said they had been haunted by the abuse and couldn't bear to watch Spacey's films. "My world exploded," Spacey testified."There was a rush to judgment and before the first question was asked or answered I lost my job, I lost my reputation, I lost everything in a matter of days."Spacey was booted from"House of Cards" and his scenes in"All the Money in the World," were scrubbed and he was replaced by Christopher Plummer. Aside from some small projects, he has barely worked as an actor in six years.
