Kevin Spacey Faces Civil Sexual Assault Charges in London Court
Kevin Spacey is set to face civil sexual assault charges in London. These claims involve allegations from three men, including a British performer named Ruari Cannon. Cannon has chosen to waive his anonymity, while the two other claimants have not disclosed their identities. The alleged incidents occurred between 2000 and 2015.
Upcoming Court Hearing
The High Court in London has scheduled a provisional trial date for 12 October 2026. This date was set during a recent court hearing where Spacey denied all allegations against him.
Past Legal Troubles
- In 2023, Spacey was acquitted of nine sexual offence charges in a criminal trial.
- He was also found not liable in a civil case in the U.S. brought by actor Anthony Rapp.
Spacey’s Current Situation
Recently, Spacey discussed his financial state in an interview with The Telegraph. He described it as “not great,” revealing that he is currently living in hotels and Airbnbs. “I literally have no home,” he stated, explaining the challenges he faces in securing stable living arrangements.
Challenges and Comparisons
Spacey spoke about his financial difficulties, which he attributed to astronomical costs over the past seven years. He noted that his income has significantly decreased during this period. Drawing a comparison to Hollywood’s blacklisting during McCarthyism, he expressed hope for resurgence. He cited Kirk Douglas as an example of an ally who helped blacklisted talents.
Future Prospects
Spacey is optimistic about potential collaborations with renowned filmmakers. He believes that if Martin Scorsese or Quentin Tarantino were to reach out, it could mark a turning point in his career. Recently, he completed production on a low-profile sci-fi thriller titled The Tenth Planet, which is currently on sale at the American Film Market.
