Kevin Spacey faces SEVEN more sexual offence charges as he’s accused over string of assaults on man
KEVIN Spacey will be charged with a further seven sexual offences today, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
The Hollywood actor is now facing additional criminal charges for a string of sexual assaults against one man between 2001 and 2004, according to the CPS.
They include three counts of indecent assault, three of sexual assault and one of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent.
It follows a review of evidence gathered by the Metropolitan Police in their investigation.
The 63-year-old was last month found not guilty of charges brought by fellow actor Anthony Rapp, who alleged that Spacey assaulted him.
Kevin Spacey will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday December 16, a Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said.
