Kevin Spacey has pleaded not guilty to s.e.xual assault charges dating back 17 years. The 62-year-old actor, who had previously denied the allegations made by three men, now in their thirties and forties, appeared in Court One of the Old Bailey in London on Thursday for a plea and case management hearing.
Appearing under his full name Kevin Spacey Fowler, the American actor ‒ who is on unconditional bail ‒ entered his not guilty plea in person and was informed his trial will start on June 6, 2023. It is expected to last between three and four weeks.
The “American Beauty” star is facing four charges of sexual assault, and one charge of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without concern. It’s claimed the alleged offences occurred in London and Gloucestershire between 2005 and 2013, at which point he was artistic director at London’s Old Vic theatre.
The actor was charged after an investigation was launched by the Met Police in 2017.
A spokesperson for the Met confirmed: “Kevin Spacey Fowler has been formally charged today with four counts of s.e.xual assault against three men. He has also been charged with causing a person to engage in penetrative s.e.xual activity without consent.”
Head of the Crown Prosecution Service’s Special Crime Division, Rosemary Ainslie, added: “The CPS has authorised criminal charges against Kevin Spacey, 62, for four counts of s.e.x.ual assault against three men. He has also been charged with causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.
