Kevin Spacey Settles Civil Lawsuit Over Sexual Misconduct Allegations from Three British Men
American actor Kevin Spacey has reached a confidential settlement with three British men who accused him of sexual misconduct between 2000 and 2013, ending a civil lawsuit that was scheduled for trial this October. Two of the anonymous claimants were also involved in a 2023 criminal case where Spacey was acquitted of nine sexual offense charges. Since 2017, Spacey has faced multiple allegations in both the United States and United Kingdom, though he has consistently maintained his innocence. Once a prominent Hollywood figure, his career declined following these accusations, with recent minor roles in Italy, including in the Rai series Minimarket.
