Kevin Spacey will be charged with a further seven sexual offences in the UK, according to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). 

The new charges relate to incidences of sexual assaults against one man between the years 2001 and 2004.

There is also one charge of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent.

These charges come in addition to the five charges the actor pleaded not guilty to in July. Spacey will face a full trial in the UK on June 6, 2023.

In a statement, the CPS said: ”The authority to charge follows a review of the evidence gathered by the Metropolitan Police in its investigation.

“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against Mr Spacey are active and that he has the right to a fair trial.”

Last month, Spacey was found not liable for a sexual misconduct civil case brought by actor Anthony Rapp in the US.
