Spacey faces more assault charges

Britain’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has authorised seven additional charges against Oscarwinning actor Kevin Spacey for a number of sexual assaults against one man between 2001 and 2004, it said on Wednesday. The new CPS charges include one of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent and others of indecent and sexual assault. The new charges follow a review of evidence gathered by British police. Spacey, 63, was previously accused of five offences in Britain. His lawyer had said in June Spacey had “strenuously” denied those allegations of sex offences. —
