Kevin Spacey has reportedly been charged with sexual assault against three men. On Thursday, Britain’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) confirmed that the 62-year-old Hollywood actor is facing four counts of sexual assault. The news comes after an investigation by the London police.
As per reports on CNBC, Kevin Spacey “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,” according to a statement from the Rosemary Ainslie CPS Special Crime Division.
The statement also adds, “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.”
It has been reported that two assaults took place in London in March 2005 against one victim. A second victim has alleged that an assault happened in August 2008. Another victim reported sexual assault in Gloucestershire in April 2013.
To note, Kevin Spacey was accused of sexually assaulting several members of the crew of House of Cards. He was removed from the show and asked to pay $31 million for violating the studio’s sexual harassment policy.
Kevin Spacey is also trying to make a comeback with a mystery thriller film Peter Five Eight and its trailer was unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival where it’s looking for distributors. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the production house behind the film responded to the charges against Spacey in a statement that read – “While it’s unfortunate that increased negative press is timed with Kevin returning to work, it’s also to be expected. There are those who wish for him not to act, but they are outnumbered by fans worldwide who await an artist they have enjoyed for decades returning to the screen.”
