Kevin Spacey's U.K. Sexual Assault Trial Commences

Kevin Spacey's U.K. criminal trial over multiple sexual assault allegations has begun at Southwark Crown Court. The trial, expected to last four weeks, involves 12 charges from four different men dating between 2001 and 2013. Spacey, who denies all charges, faces counts of sexual assault, indecent assault, and causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent. The trial marks his first in the U.K. since the allegations emerged in 2017 and could determine his future in the entertainment industry. If found guilty, Spacey could face a prison sentence.
