After three weeks of evidence presented by both the prosecution and defense, a London jury has reached a verdict in the Kevin Spacey sexual assault trial
A London jury has found Academy Award-winning actor Kevin Spacey not guilty of seven sexual assault and two other sexual offenses against four men.
Spacey, 64, denied charges of sexual offenses against four men between 2001 and 2013 — during which time Spacey served as artistic director at the Old Vic theater in the British capital. He pleaded not guilty to all of the charges – and a jury has now agreed.
After nearly 12 and a half hours of deliberation across three days, the jury returned on Wednesday and delivered its verdict that Spacey was not guilty on all counts.
Last year, a New York jury found Spacey not liable for battery on allegations he picked up actor Anthony Rapp and laid on top of him after a party way back in 1986.
Wednesday, Spacey had tears in his eyes as the jury cleared him of the charges.
Was his life ruined over mere accusations?
