Kevin Spacey, Accused of Sexual Assault, Appears in British Court (The New York Times)

The proceedings are a rare example of a celebrity #MeToo case leading to criminal charges.

Celebrity spotters are often seen outside high-profile court cases, hoping to get a glimpse of troubled stars, but on Thursday, the scrum of onlookers appeared to be entirely journalists and photographers. Natalie Dawson, the prosecutor, asked the court to prevent Mr. Spacey from leaving Britain, saying there were “substantial grounds” he may not return to face trial. That included “his 9-year-old dog,” Mr. Gibbs added. It was the first, mainly procedural stage in what will most likely be a lengthy criminal proceeding. An actual trial will probably not occur for some time because of a severe backlog in Britain’s judicial system. LONDON — Kevin Spacey, the Oscar- and Tony Award-winning actor, appeared on Thursday in a London court facing charges of sexual assault.

One of Spacey's attorneys, Patrick Gibbs, told the court, “Mr. Spacey strenuously denies any and all criminality in this case.”

The sixth and final season did not feature Spacey at all. Prosecutors in Los Angeles and London launched investigations in late 2018. The proceedings on Thursday were just the beginning of the process. More than a dozen others subsequently came forward with allegations against Spacey, some of which resulted in legal action. He was granted unconditional bail and is set to return to Southwark Crown Court on July 14. Spacey was first accused of sexual misconduct in October 2017 by actor Anthony Rapp, who told BuzzFeed News that Spacey made a sexual advance toward him at a party in 1986, when Rapp was 14 and Spacey was 26.

Kevin Spacey a fait un retour remarqué à Londres, ce jeudi 16 juin. L'acteur américain avait en effet rendez-vous au tribunal de Westminster.

Mais les poursuites avaient été abandonnées en juillet 2019 . Fin mai, il a comparu devant un juge de New York pour une audience de procédure dans le cadre d'une action au civil intentée par l'acteur Anthony Rapp, qui l'avait accusé de lui avoir fait des avances sexuelles lorsqu'il était adolescent. Après le feu vert donné par le parquet britannique à des poursuites, l'acteur s'était dit "déçu" mais avait annoncé son intention de se présenter devant la justice britannique pour "prouver son innocence". Son grand retour au cinéma, dans le film "L'uomo Che Disegno Dio" (L'homme qui dessine Dieu), avait toutefois été annoncé l'an dernier. Costume bleu et lunettes, il a brièvement pris la parole au début de l'audience pour décliner son identité - Kevin Spacey Fowler -, sa date de naissance - le 26 juillet 1959 - et son adresse à Londres, puis lui ont été lues les accusations retenues contre lui. L'acteur américain Kevin Spacey a "vigoureusement" démenti jeudi les accusations d'agressions sexuelles sur trois hommes au Royaume-Uni , lors de sa comparution devant un tribunal londonien qui l'a laissé libre jusqu'à une prochaine audience en juillet. Il est également accusé d'avoir forcé l'un d'eux à une activité sexuelle avec pénétration sans son consentement, chef d'accusation qui se distingue du viol (qui implique une pénétration avec un pénis) dans le droit anglais.

All of the Allegations Against Kevin Spacey (The Cut)

This week, actor Kevin Spacey appeared in court in London facing multiple sexual assault charges. Since 2017, when actor Anthony Rapp publicly alleged that ...

Spacey pleaded not guilty, with his lawyer calling the interaction “ consensual flirtation” and alleging that the accuser “concocted and exaggerated elements of a story to impress his friends.” In an article for BuzzFeed, Harry Dreyfuss, son of actor Richard Dreyfuss, called Spacey a “sexual predator” and claimed Spacey groped him in 2008, when he was 18. “He was a man in a very powerful position on the show and I was someone very low on the totem pole and on the food chain there,” the anonymous assistant said. When he woke up, he said Spacey was on top of him “in his underwear.” “It seems he was grooming me,” the accuser said, adding that Spacey eventually “backed off.” He said he told Spacey to stop; Spacey allegedly told him not to tell anyone what happened. An anonymous accuser told the BBC that in 1985, when he was 17 and Spacey was in his mid-20s, he woke up to Spacey lying on top of him. The artist, who said he met Spacey when he was a 12-year-old acting student and Spacey was a guest teacher, alleged he and Spacey had sex a handful of times in New York, and that Spacey often promised him professional opportunities, none of which came to fruition: “He was telling me that there were producers who were really interested in me as an actor and that he wanted to get me auditions,” he said. Per the BBC, an anonymous American filmmaker alleged Spacey sexually harassed him on the set of Albino Alligator in 1995, when he was a 22-year-old junior crew member. “He was telling me to come with him, to leave the bar. “I said, ‘I want to go home and change.’ I felt pressured, and it became clear his intention was to have sex with me,” said Edwards. “He became cold and said, ‘Find your own way.’” Spacey allegedly invited Dawes — then a high-school junior interested in acting — and a male friend to his apartment in New Haven, Connecticut, under the guise of watching Chinatown, but instead gave the boys cocktails and played gay pornography. He retreated from public life, with a representative telling Variety he was seeking “evaluation and treatment,” though he has occasionally resurfaced over the years to launch film comebacks and post bizarre defenses on YouTube and
