Kevin Spacey's legal troubles in the UK mount as more sex charges announced
London, UK - Kevin Spacey will be charged with even more sex offenses against one man, British prosecutors said.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said it had authorized seven new charges against the 63-year-old – three of indecent assault, three of sexual assault, and one count of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent.
The new charges relate to a new complainant and take the total against the Oscar-winning actor to 12.
Spacey appeared at the Central Criminal Court, or Old Bailey, in July to deny five allegations relating to three men who are now in their 30s and 40s.
The most recent charges allegedly occurred between 2001 and 2004.
The latest announcement comes after Spacey won a civil lawsuit in New York, where he was accused of an "unwanted sexual advance" at a party in 1986 by fellow actor Anthony Rapp.
At the conclusion of his appearance at the Old Bailey earlier this year, Spacey was granted unconditional bail until a further hearing due to take place next year.
The five alleged offenses he has already denied are said to have occurred in London and Gloucestershire between 2005 and 2013.
At the time, Spacey was artistic director of The Old Vic theater in London.
The trial, expected to last three to four weeks, will take place from June 6 next year.
