Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey (62) has to appear in court for the first time this Thursday in London after allegations of sexual assault.

This was announced by the Metropolitan Police on Monday.

At the end of May, the British public prosecutor's office (Crown Prosecution Service) announced that charges against Spacey for sexual assault had been approved.

There are a total of three cases in London from 2005 and 2008 and one case in the south-west English county of Gloucestershire from 2013, according to the authority.

In one of the cases, Spacey is charged with coercing a person into "penetrative sexual activity," it said.

The 62-year-old announced in May that he wanted to appear in court in person to prove his "innocence".

He has denied all allegations.

The investigation against Spacey had been conducted by the London police.

Some of the acts are said to have been committed in the Lambeth area of ​​London.

It's home to the Old Vic Theater, which Spacey was Artistic Director from 2004 to 2015.

Another abuse lawsuit against Kevin Spacey cleared

Earlier in June, a New York judge denied Spacey's motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by actor Anthony Rapp in 2020, Law and Crime reported.

Judge Lewis A. Kaplan ruled that a jury should decide allegations of abuse in the 1980s, court documents show.

The now 50-year-old Rapp states that Spacey, now 62, attacked at a party at his home in New York in 1986.

At that time, Rapp, who later became known for the musical "Rent" and the TV series "Star Trek: Discovery", was 14 years old.

With his civil suit against Spacey he wants to win damages.

The two-time Oscar winner has also denied these allegations.

Allegations of sexual assault and harassment were raised against Spacey in the fall of 2017 in the course of the MeToo debate.

Crew members of the Netflix series "House of Cards" also accused Spacey of sexual harassment.

The streaming giant then canceled the collaboration.

In the summer of 2021, the two-time Oscar winner ("The Usual Suspects", "American Beauty") was back in front of the camera for the first time since the allegations.
