Kevin Spacey Sensationally Acquitted in U.K. Sexual Assault Trial (yahoo.com)

“After weeks of global headlines, star witnesses, and harrowing testimony from his accusers, Kevin Spacey was found not guilty Wednesday on all nine charges in his U.K. sexual assault trial.

A jury of nine men and three women, who began deliberating Monday afternoon in London, acquitted Spacey of charges including indecent assault, sexual assault, and “causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity,” which would have carried a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

The trial against the 63-year-old actor got underway on June 28 at Southwark Crown Court in London. Over the ensuing weeks, the jury heard from four men who each accused Spacey of sexual or indecent assault between 2001 and 2013, while the actor was living in London. Three of the four accusers said Spacey aggressively groped them; the fourth said Spacey sexually assaulted him and then performed oral sex on him while he was passed out in Spacey’s flat.”

So, there you go!

“Last year, a jury in the U.S. found Spacey not liable for battery in a civil lawsuit brought by Rent actor Anthony Rapp, who was one of the first people to publicly accuse Spacey of sexual misconduct in 2017, amid the #MeToo movement. Earlier this month, Rapp addressed Spacey’s U.K. trial in comments to The Daily Beast, saying, “A trial is a harrowing experience for victims of abuse, and I sincerely hope these men are served with the proper outcome: that Kevin Spacey is punished for his crimes.”
