Kevin Spacey, an Oscar-winning actor, has pleaded not guilty to seven new s**ual assault charges against a man in the early 2000s.

The 63-year-old Hollywood star, whose full name is Kevin Spacey Fowler, has been accused of s**ual touching, touching over clothing, and forcing the complainant’s hand against his privates over clothing.

The actor appeared at Southwark Crown Court in London on Friday via video link and denied all the charges.

Spacey had previously denied five allegations relating to three other men who are now in their 30s and 40s.

He had appeared at the Old Bailey in July last year to deny the five previous charges of four counts of s**ual assault and one count of causing a person to engage in penetrative s**ual activity without consent.

With the addition of these seven new charges, Spacey now faces a total of 12 charges relating to four men between 2001 and 2013.

The actor has been granted unconditional bail and is scheduled to face a four-week trial on all charges on June 6, with a pre-trial review due to take place on April 5.

Spacey is a two-time Academy Award winner, best known for his roles in American Beauty and House Of Cards.

However, his reputation has been tarnished by multiple allegations of s**ual misconduct.

In October last year, he won a civil lawsuit in the US where he was accused of an “unwanted s**ual advance” at a party in 1986. At the time, he was the artistic director at The Old Vic, a London-based theatre company, from 2004 to 2015.

Spacey categorically denied the accusations in the civil lawsuit, saying he “did not harbour any s**ual interest or desire” at the time or since the alleged incident.

However, the actor has faced numerous accusations of s**ual misconduct, leading to the termination of his lead role in House of Cards, and his removal from Ridley Scott’s All the Money in the World.

In 2018, actor Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of making s**ual advances towards him when he was just 14.

Spacey denied the allegations but apologized for any “inappropriate drunken behavior.”

Following the accusation, many other men came forward with similar allegations against Spacey.

The allegations against Spacey have had a significant impact on his career, with the actor largely disappearing from public view in recent years.

Nevertheless, Spacey remains a divisive figure, with some fans and colleagues continuing to support him despite the accusations.

It is worth noting that in the UK, anonymity is granted to alleged victims of s**ual offenses.

However, this does not extend to the accused, and their identity is made public.

The decision to name the accused is intended to ensure transparency and accountability in the justice system.
