Kevin Spacey faces new sexual assault allegations

BRITISH police are investigating three new allegations of sexual assault against Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey.

Scotland Yard now have six open investigations against Spacey, two into sexual assault and one of assault, according to British media reports.

The latest allegations are about incidents that took place in London and Gloucester.

A man is alleged to have been sexually assaulted in Lambeth in 2008 (Spacey was artistic director of the Old Vic Theatre, Lambeth, between 2004 and 2015).

Another man came forward, claiming he had been sexually assaulted in Gloucester in 2013. The third allegation dates back to 1996. The incident allegedly occurred in Westminster.

News of the latest allegations came just a day after Aussie actor Guy Pearce made headlines around the world with his disturbing anecdote about working with Spacey on the 1997 movie L.A. Confidential.

Asked by interviewer AndrewDenton about his own experiences working with the embattled actor over two decades ago, Pearce chose his words carefully.

“Yeah … yeah. Tough one to talk about at the moment. Amazing actor; incredible actor. Mmm. Slightly difficult time with Kevin, yeah,” Pearce said, before uttering four words that made the studio audience gasp: “He’s a handsy guy.”

Thankfully I was 29, and not 14,” he said, prompting more audience gasps.

Spacey’s downfall began when actor Anthony Rapp alleged he was 14 when Spacey, then 26, made a sexual advance to him in 1986.
