Allegations had been made against the actor in the course of the MeToo debate. The British public prosecutor announced that there were three cases in total that were said to have taken place in England.
Dhe Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey has been reported in the UK for sexually assaulting three men.
The British public prosecutor’s office (Crown Prosecution Service) said on Thursday in London that there were three cases in London from 2005 and 2008 and one case in the south-west English county of Gloucestershire from 2013. In one of the cases, he was charged with coercing a person into “penetrative sexual activity,” it said. This is said to have happened in 2008.
Allegations of sexual assault and harassment were raised against the 62-year-old in the fall of 2017 in the course of the MeToo debate.
Crew members of the Netflix series “House of Cards” also accused Spacey of sexual harassment. The streaming giant then canceled the collaboration. In the summer of 2021, the two-time Oscar winner (“The Usual Suspects”, “American Beauty”) was back in front of the camera for the first time since the allegations.
