London (AFP) - Hollywood star Kevin Spacey is facing a civil trial in London over a sexual abuse claim after a judge on Tuesday set aside a previous default ruling against the actor. A man made the claim against the Oscar-winning actor at the High Court in London in 2022, alleging he was sexually assaulted and was suffering "psychiatric damage" as a result. But the case was put on hold when Spacey was then criminally charged with various sexual offences. He was later acquitted. Spacey's legal team were meant to file a written defence for the civil case once the criminal proceedings ended, but ...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey, who was acquitted of sex offences by a UK jury, became a household name playing dangerous, darkly charismatic antiheroes in hits from "The Usual Suspects" to "House of Cards".

New York (AFP) - A New York court on Thursday dismissed a $40 million sexual misconduct lawsuit brought against Kevin Spacey by an actor who claimed the Hollywood star targeted him when he was 14. A jury found that Anthony Rapp, who was seeking damages for "emotional anguish," failed to prove that the two-time Oscar winner had "touched a sexual or intimate body part," leading Judge Lewis Kaplan to dismiss the civil case.

New York (AFP) - US actor Anthony Rapp told a New York courtroom Friday that he froze up when he was allegedly assaulted by Kevin Spacey as a minor in 1986, on the second day of the disgraced Oscar winner's trial over the accusation. Spacey, 63, has disappeared from public view after becoming one of the first stars to be caught up in the global #MeToo reckoning over sexual abuse. Rapp told the court he was still an unknown actor when he met the "American Beauty" star, who was in his late 20s at the time. Rapp, then 14, and friend and fellow actor John Barrowman, then 18, had seen a show starri...
