LONDON (Reuters) – A lawyer for Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey said he strenuously denies any criminality as he appeared at a British court on Thursday to face allegations of sex offences.
Spacey is accused of five offences: four counts of sexual assault, and a further charge of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent. Prosecutors say Spacey forced a man to have oral sex.
“Mr Spacey strenuously denies any and all criminality in this case,” his lawyer Patrick Gibbs said.
