Amid the charges brought forth against the actor last week, Kevin Spacey says he’s innocent until proven otherwise. Five days after Britain’s Crown Prosecution Service [CPS] announced that the 62-year-old was being charged with four counts of sexual assault against three men, the House of Cards alum spoke out in a statement issued through his spokesperson.
“I very much appreciate the Crown Prosecution Service’s statement in which they carefully reminded the media and the public that I am entitled to a fair trial, and innocent until proven otherwise,” the message, issued to GMA on May 31, read. “While I am disappointed with their decision to move forward, I will voluntarily appear in the U.K. as soon as can be arranged and defend myself against these charges, which I am confident will prove my innocence.”
On May 26, CPS announced Spacey was being charged with four counts of sexual assault against three men in the United Kingdom, with the alleged incidents taking place between 2005 to 2013.
According to the press release issued by CPS, two of the alleged sexual assaults took place in London in March 2005. The third alleged act of sexual assault occurred in August 2008 with another individual, with the person accusing Spacey of making him “engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent,” per CPS. The fourth alleged sexual assault incident took place in April 2013.
