Kevin Spacey has been charged with four counts of sexual assault against three men
gaytimes.co.ukKevin Spacey has been charged with four counts of sexual assault against three men and one count of “causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.” The verdict was unveiled today (26 May) by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).
The UK’s prosecution agency has spent over a year reviewing a file that was handed over by the Metropolitan Police. Rosemary Ainslie, head of the CPS Special Crime Division, said in a statement: “The CPS has authorised criminal charges against Kevin Spacey, 62, for four counts of sexual assault against three men. “He has also been charged with causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.
The charges follow a review of the evidence gathered by the Metropolitan Police in its investigation.” Ainslie added: “The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against Mr Spacey are active and that he has the right to a fair trial.” The alleged incidents reportedly took place in London between March 2005 and August 2008, with the third in Gloucestershire in April 2013.
The Academy Award-winning actor was accused of sexual harassment and sexual abuse from numerous alleged victims after Anthony Rapp came forward with his alleged experience in October 2017.
