During the hearing, Spacey’s attorney said that he ‘strenuously denies’ all the charges and will appear in the Britain court to prove his innocence and move on with life. Two-time Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey’s career has been significantly derailed by sexual assault allegations. He was removed from high-profile shows like Ridley Scott’s All the Money in the World and Netflix’s House of Cards.
During his opening remarks, the judge acknowledged the amount of publicity that this case has drawn and advised the juror to avoid the media coverage as much as they can. If Kevin Spacey is found guilty of these charges, then he might have to serve prison time. At present, the actor has been on unconditional bail while he awaits trial.
Previously in an interview with the German ZEITmagazin, Kevin Spacey said, “I know that there are people right now who are ready to hire me the moment I am cleared of these charges in London. The second that happens, they’re ready to move forward.”
