Kevin Spacey faces three new sexual assault charges in London

Scotland Yard is investigating three new allegations of sexual assault against Kevin Spacey dating back to 1996.

London police previously confirmed three more investigations into the Oscar-winning actor, bringing the total to six.

The three new allegations were first reported by TMZ and confirmed by police variety. On February 8, a man reported being sexually assaulted in 2008 in Lambeth, the London borough where the Old Vic Theater is located. Another man came forward on February 14, saying he was sexually abused in Gloucester in 2013.

The third charge relates to a man who claims he was assaulted in Westminster in 1996. Each case is being investigated by the Metropolitan Police’s Child Abuse and Sexual Offenses Command. This includes the charge at Gloucester, which is about 100 miles west of London.

Police launched the original investigation in November after receiving a report of a sexual assault that took place in Lambeth in 2008. Another victim came forward that month to report an assault that took place in Lambeth in 2005, and the third charge in December involved a case. of Westminster in 2005.

Spacey was artistic director of the Old Vic for 11 years, starting in 2003. In November, the theater’s board announced that 20 men had come forward with claims against Spacey. The board apologized, noting that a “cult of personality” around Spacey may have intimidated young actors from coming forward sooner.
