Disgraced two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey is set to go to court in London next year over three more claims of sexual assault.
As reported by the BBC, three men have alleged that Spacey, 66, sexually assaulted them between 2000 and 2013. A provisional trial date at the High Court in London has been set for October 12, 2026. The claims will either be heard in a single trial or three consecutive trials. Spacey has denied the allegations.
He was first accused of sexually assaulting a man in 2017, after actor Anthony Rapp came forward. In the weeks that followed, over ten others came forward with similar allegations, including eight people who worked with him on the Netflix hit, House of Cards.
One of the men who is taking Spacey to court said that Spacey “deliberately assaulted him” on 12 different occasions over five years, while another man claimed that he “suffered psychiatric damage and financial loss” after Spacey assaulted him in 2008. Those two men have been referred to as LNP and GHI, while the third man, Ruari Cannon, waived his right to anonymity. The legal firm representing the three men has requested a single trial for all three allegations.
The news comes not long after Spacey, who won Oscars for his work in The Usual Suspects and American Beauty, said in an interview that he “literally” has “no home,” after he was forced to foreclose on his house in Baltimore, Maryland. He later issued a video to speak about articles “claiming” he was homeless.
He said that despite the headlines suggesting he was homeless, he was actually living in hotels and Airbnb rentals. “I feel it would be disingenuous to allow you to believe that I am indeed homeless in the colloquial sense,” he said, while noting that multiple people contacted him with an offer of a place to stay following the interview.
