BREAKING: Kevin Spacey found not guilty of all 9 charges in London sexual assault trial.
None of the four complainants in the case can be named as they are afforded lifelong anonymity under English law. They each gave evidence, variously describing Spacey as “slippery,” a “vile sexual predator,” and “disgusting.”
Three said Spacey groped them; the fourth said Spacey performed oral sex on him while he was passed out in the actor's apartment. Spacey, who took the stand at London's Southwark Crown Court earlier this month, described one of the men's claims as"madness" and said another alleged assault was a"clumsy pass." He contested the evidence of a third complainant, saying any"romantic" touching was consensual.
The actor, Spacey, who won Oscars for best actor in “American Beauty” in 1999, four years after he won best supporting actor for his role in “The Usual Suspects,” said he did perform oral sex on one of the accusers but said this too was consensual. The charges dated from 2004 to 2013, at a time when Spacey worked as artistic director of London's Old Vic Theatre. Spacey faced seven counts of sexual assault, one of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent, and one of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity.
