Brit cops probing new Spacey case

- Peter Sblendorio

BRITISH AUTHORITIE­S are investigat­ing a second sexual assault accusation against Kevin Spacey, police said Wednesday.

The new allegation against the actor was submitted on Friday, accusing Spacey of assaulting a male victim — whose identity was not revealed — in the London district of Lambeth in 2005, according to the BBC.

Britain’s Metropolit­an Police were already looking into a separate accusation that Spacey sexually assaulted a 23-year-old man in 2008, also in Lambeth. That investigat­ion was confirmed by British police on Nov. 3.

Several men have come forward in recent weeks to accuse Spacey of sexual misconduct after Anthony Rapp last month told BuzzFeed that in 1986, when he was 14, a 26-year-old Spacey climbed onto him while he was in bed.

Spacey said in a statement he doesn’t remember the alleged incident, but said he owes Rapp “the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropri­ate drunken behavior.”
