CDMX.- Actor Kevin Spacey pleaded not guilty to seven other sex offense charges before a London court, in which he denied a series of alleged sexual assaults on a man between 2001 and 2004.
Spacey, 63, appeared by video link at Southwark Crown Court charged with one offense of inciting a person to have sex without their consent, three offenses of indecent assault and three offenses of sexual assault.
The Oscar-winning actor for American Beauty and The Usual Suspects – who wore a dark jacket, white shirt and pink tie – spoke only to confirm his name as Kevin Spacey Fowler and plead not guilty seven times during the brief hearing.
Judge Mark Wall agreed to join the seven count indictment to an earlier five count, which includes four sexual assaults on three men between March 2005 and April 2013, when he was director of London’s prestigious Old Vic theatre.
In all, and following another complaint by a man in November, he now faces 12 charges related to allegations of sexual assault against four men between 2001 and 2013.
The actor’s trial, which will begin in June, will last four weeks and will address all of these cases.
Kevin Spacey, whose career was largely suspended over these cases, also faced charges in the United States.
In October 2022, a New York civil court found him not guilty of sexual assault.
He was also accused of indecent assault and sexual assault against an 18-year-old boy in a bar in the state of Massachusetts, on the east coast of the United States. The charges were dropped in July 2019.
