Re: Kevin Spacey NOT Guilty of Sexual Assault at UK Crown Court
Kevin Spacey NOT Guilty of Sexual Assault at Southwark Crown Court UK
Kevin Spacey, the Oscar winning Hollywood actor, has been cleared of sexually assaulting four men.
BBC 26 JULY 2023
The 64-year-old star of American Beauty, The Usual Suspects and House of Cards, was found not guilty of nine sexual offences against four complainants between 2001 and 2013.
After almost 12 hours of deliberation, jurors at Southwark Crown Court acquitted him on all counts. The actor had tears in his eyes as the verdict was read out and later nodded at jurors as they left the court. Letting out a big sigh in the court room
Mr Spacey thanked the guard in a hushed voice and received a pat on the back from his legal team. During the trial, Prosecutor Christine Agnew KC had accused Mr Spacey of using his position as the "golden boy of the London theatre scene" to do what he wanted, confident his alleged victims would not be believed.
