Allegations since 2017
Kevin Spacey denies sexual assault allegations
US actor Kevin Spacey has denied new allegations of sexual assault against men. He has never told anyone that he would help them with their career in exchange for sexual favors, Spacey said in an interview.
Former actor Ruari Cannon, for example, accused him of touching him inappropriately in 2013 at the age of 21. Nine other men also say in the documentary "Spacey Unmasked" that the actor behaved inappropriately towards them. "I take full responsibility for my past behavior and actions, but I cannot and will not apologize to anyone who has made things up about me or told exaggerated stories about me," the accused now said.
Criminal charges dismissed
The first allegations of abuse emerged back in October 2017. At the time, Anthony Rapp accused his colleague Spacey of sexually molesting him in 1986 when he was 14 years old. However, a criminal complaint was dismissed in the USA and the well-known US actor was acquitted in the subsequent civil trial.
The two-time Oscar winner, who is known from films such as "American Beauty" and the Netflix series "House of Cards", has already been acquitted in several trials (see video above). The incidents that led to the charges are said to have occurred between 2001 and 2013, among other dates. So far, Spacey has denied all allegations.
