Scotland Yard receives third complaint on Kevin Spacey

Kevin Spacey is being investigated by Scotland Yard over a third complaint of sexual assault.

The force has been told a third man was allegedly sexually assaulted by the Oscar-winning actor, this time in Westminster, London, in 2005.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “On December 13, we received an allegation that the man sexually assaulted a man (victim three) in 2005 in Westminster.”

The force did not directly link Spacey to the fresh allegation, but said the alleged perpetrator is the same as the subject of earlier complaints.

Spacey was already being investigated over two complaints of sexual assault in the south London borough of Lambeth – one in 2005 and the other in 2008.

The 58-year-old was one of the first Hollywood stars to face accusations in the fallout of the Harvey Weinstein scandal.

He was subsequently dumped by Netflix’s House Of Cards.
