The charges include seven counts against one man and five counts against three others. Several of the charges involve multiple occasions when he was said to have indecently or sexually assaulted an alleged victim.
LONDON — Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey gets a thrill by preying on other men, a prosecutor told jurors during his sexual assault trial Friday in a London courtroom.
Defense lawyer Patrick Gibbs said Spacey denied all allegations of nonconsensual activity and told jurors to ask themselves as they listened to the evidence what — if anything — had happened.He said jurors would hear truths, half-truths, deliberate exaggerations and lies. The two-time Academy Award winner arrived at court by cab more than two hours early. He wore spectacles and was dressed in a light gray suit, white shirt and gold tie. Spacey entered the courtroom with a large binder of documents under his arm. After he sat down behind his lawyer, he pulled a pair of reading glasses from his shirt pocket and began leafing through the pages.
“There are people right now who are ready to hire me the moment I am cleared of these charges in London,” Spacey said in an interview published this month in Germany’s Zeit magazine.
