American Beauty and House of Cards star Kevin Spacey has pled not guilty to five sexual assault charges at a court hearing in London.
However, Justice Wall reminded him he was expected in court for the trial and that failing to attend would entail a criminal act. He was again greeted with a media circus, with reporters, photographers and other members of the media camped outside the court. This covers the period in which the offenses alleged today were said to have happened. Thirty reporters waited for seats in the public gallery while scores of other media viewed via video in an overspill courtroom. Today’s hearing had been due to be heard at Southwark Crown Court, the UK’s fourth largest judicial venue, after a Westminster Magistrates Court ruling. Spacey has maintained his innocence since the allegations first came to light.
The Hollywood star denies allegations relating to three men during his time as artistic director of The Old Vic theatre.
The fourth sexual assault is alleged to have occurred in Gloucestershire, western England, in April 2013 against a third man, who is also now in his 30s. Spacey has also been charged “with causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent” against the man in his 30s. The third is alleged to have happened in London in August 2008 against a man who is now in his 30s.

Kevin Spacey has reportedly been dropped from an upcoming film about Genghis Khan amid his ongoing court case in the UK.
He is charged with two counts of sexual assault on a man, now in his 40s, in March 2005 in London; sexual assault on a man, now in his 30s, and causing him to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent in August 2008 in London; and sexual assault on a man, now in his 30s, in April 2013 in Gloucestershire. The news comes as Spacey appeared in court in London on Thursday where he pleaded not guilty to the five historical sexual assault charges, dating back 17 years Spacey has denied the allegations and has traveled to the UK to face the charges.
The Oscar-winning actor will face a trial in June 2023 — a rare example of a celebrity #MeToo case reaching that stage in Britain.
Mr. Spacey is facing four charges of sexual assault in the case, as well as one of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without their consent, which involved the penetration of a man’s mouth with a penis. The actor’s appearance was largely procedural. In a short hearing at the Old Bailey, one of London’s grandest courthouses, Mr. Spacey, 62, confirmed his name and address — he is appearing as Kevin Spacey Fowler — before pleading not guilty to all charges, according to the BBC and other news agencies.

Mr Gibbs said Spacey returned to the UK “to establish his innocence” and “proceed with his life”. Spacey thanked the judge at the conclusion of the 15-minute hearing.
The disgraced actor's criminal trial across the pond has been set for next summer.
In swift fashion, Spacey was dropped from his leading role on House Of Cards—Spacey’s co-stars on the series later alleged he made the set a “toxic” and “predatory” environment. Spacey’s alleged perverse pattern of assault and manipulation was first whistleblown in 2017, when the actor Anthony Rapp publicly came forward to accuse Spacey of raping him when he was 14 years old. In line with an arrangement previously reached by Spacey and the courts, he is on unconditional bail, meaning the actor can move freely in and out of the U.K. while he awaits his trial date.
