Kevin Spacey Facing Sexual Assault Charges in Britain (The New York Times)

British prosecutors said that they had authorized criminal charges against Mr. Spacey, 62, for four counts of sexual assault against three men.

A massage therapist sued Mr. Spacey in California in 2019, accusing him of groping and trying to kiss him before offering him oral sex during a massage. “It seems that it only took a male under 30 to make Mr. Spacey feel free to touch us,” Mr. Cavazos wrote. Mr. Spacey is a two-time Academy Award winner. His new American thriller was also being sold at Cannes, according to Rolling Stone. But more recently, he has found roles in smaller films, including an Italian feature and an American thriller. It was being sold at the Cannes Film Festival, Deadline added. The spokesman declined to comment on whether the service would pursue extradition proceedings if that did not occur. The news release said the charges concerned three complainants. One actor, Roberto Cavazos, wrote on Facebook that he “had a couple of nasty encounters with Spacey that were close to being called harassment” at the theater. The first person to publicly accuse Mr. Spacey of sexual misconduct was the actor Anthony Rapp, who said in 2017 that Mr. Spacey had made unwanted sexual advances toward him in the 1980s, when he was 14 years old. The incidents dated from March 2005, August 2008 and April 2013, it added — a time when Mr. Spacey was artistic director of the Old Vic theater in London. All the incidents occurred in London, except one from 2013, which occurred in Gloucestershire, England. The Metropolitan Police said that one of the men was now “in his 40s” and that the other two were now in their 30s, but did not provide their exact ages. Rosemary Ainslie, head of the service’s special crime division, said in the release that Mr. Spacey, 62, had “also been charged with causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.”

US actor Kevin Spacey has been charged with four counts of sexual assault against three men, Britain's Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said on Thursday.

Spacey has won two Academy Awards for his roles in "The Usual Suspects" and "American Beauty," and was artistic director of London's Old Vic theater from 2003 to 2015. The decision to charge Spacey "follows a review of the evidence gathered by the Metropolitan Police Service in its investigation," the force said. The alleged victim of the 2005 incidents is now in his 40s, while the two men allegedly involved in the 2008 and 2013 incidents are now in their 30s, London's Metropolitan Police said.

Spacey, who won Academy Awards for his performances in “The Usual Suspects” and “American Beauty,” starred as ruthless politician Frank Underwood in the Netflix series “House of Cards” when the allegations against him first surfaced. Prosecutors in Los Angeles and London launched investigations in late 2018, though the Los Angeles case did not move forward because the alleged incident fell outside the statute of limitations. More than a dozen others came forward with allegations against Spacey after Rapp, some of which resulted in legal action.

The charges follow a review of the evidence gathered by the [London] Metropolitan Police in its investigation.”

The team behind Spacey's new film, Peter Five Eight, has said their production is 'for fans who care more for the art than the scandal'

Nero’s film was the first to feature Spacey that was announced, and the decision to cast him met with considerable backlash. The film, shot in California, stars Spacey as Peter, a charismatic man who shows up in a small mountainside community. Peter Five Eight was viewed as his return to the profession and buyers were courted at the Cannes Market earlier in the festival.
