Kevin Spacey

Spacey, who won Academy Awards for his performances in “The Usual Suspects” and “American Beauty,” starred as ruthless politician Frank Underwood in the Netflix series “House of Cards” when the allegations against him first surfaced.

More than a dozen others came forward with allegations against Spacey after Rapp, some of which resulted in legal action.

(At the time, Spacey released a statement apologizing to Rapp, but claimed he had no memory of the alleged interaction.) Since 2017, Spacey has been embroiled in lawsuits pertaining to alleged sexual misconduct in the U.S., including one accusing him of fondling an 18-year-old man in a restaurant in 2016 and one accusing him of groping and attempting to kiss a massage therapist before offering him oral sex during a massage. The actor has been accused multiple times of sexual misconduct, including sexually assaulting two minors in the U.S. One of his accusers was actor Anthony Rapp, who came forward about Spacey’s alleged misconduct in 2017, claiming that Spacey made sexual advances toward him at a house party in 1986, when Rapp was just 14. The charges follow a review of the evidence gathered by the [London] Metropolitan Police in its investigation.”

Spacey served as the artistic director of the Old Vic theater in London from 2004 to 2015, and in 2017 the theater said it had received 20 complaints of inappropriate behavior from Spacey. Spacey was previously charged in the U.S.—and pleaded not guilty—to an indecent assault and battery charge stemming from a 2016 incident with a young man in Nantucket, Massachusetts. The charges were dropped in 2019. In 2019, Variety reported that Spacey was interviewed by the Metropolitan Police in the U.S. regarding the U.K. investigation, which at that point focused on allegations from six different men about instances from 1996 to 2013. Another charge of sexual assault and the charge of causing the non-consensual sexual act are related to an August 2008 incident in London from a second accuser.
