Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey was due to make his latest British courtroom appearance after he was charged last month with sexual assault.
Hollywood actor and two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey"strenuously denies" the claims against him.LONDON - Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey was due to make his latest British courtroom appearance after he was charged last month with sexually assaulting three men and granted unconditional bail.
No formal pleas were entered at the previous 28-minute hearing, but Spacey's lawyer Patrick Gibbs told the court his client"strenuously denies any and all criminality in this case".The Crown Prosecution Service, which is responsible for bringing prosecutions in England and Wales, said in May that it had authorised charges against Spacey.
The magistrate formally withdrew an arrest warrant that had been issued two weeks prior after learning Spacey had travelled to London to appear in person. "I will voluntarily appear in the UK as soon as can be arranged and defend myself against these charges, which I am confident will prove my innocence," he said in a statement at the time.Allegations against him emerged in the wake of the #MeToo movement that saw numerous claims of sexual assault and harassment in the movie industry.
