Jury deliberates in Kevin Spacey’s sexual assault trial in London
Kevin Spacey has pleaded not guilty to all charges, claiming that every sexual act was consensual.
Jurors in the sexual assault trial of Kevin Spacey retired to begin deliberations on Monday on allegations against the actor by four men that date back two decades.
Spacey, 63, has pleaded not guilty to nine charges, including multiple counts of sexual assault and one count of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.
The case went to the jury about a month after the nine men and three women were seated in Southwark Crown Court.
Spacey’s defence lawyer said during closing arguments last week that three of the men are liars and he suggested jurors not convict him for making a “clumsy pass” at a fourth man.
The prosecutor called Spacey a “sexual bully” who took advantage of his power as a major celebrity and took what he wanted when he wanted it.
