Actor Kevin Spacey has been charged with sexually assaulting three men decades ago in the United Kingdom, the Crown Protective Services announced on Thursday.
His charges include four counts of sexual assault against three men between March 2005 and April 2013.
“He has also been charged with causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent,” Rosemary Ainslie, who heads the CPS Special Crime Division, said in a statement. “The charges follow a review of the evidence gathered by the Metropolitan Police in its investigation.”
Three of the alleged incidents took place in London, and the other happened in Gloucester, according to police.

In the United States, Spacey was previously sued over sexual assault allegations in civil court, and a criminal case against him here previously crumbled because prosecutors said the complaining witness was “unavailable.” Spacey’s attorney the Massachusetts criminal case argued the accuser deleted text messages that would have proven the actor was innocent.
This is a developing story.
