House of Cards actor Kevin Spacey has pleaded not guilty to charges of sexual assault.
The 62-year-old actor formally entered a not guilty plea to all five charges at the Old Bailey in central London, having previously said he "strenuously denies" the allegations. Appearing in court under his full name, Kevin Spacey Fowler, pleaded not guilty to four charges of sexual assault and one count of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.
The allegations relate to three men, now aged in their 30s and 40s, in London and Gloucestershire between 2005 and 2013. The double Oscar winner has been granted unconditional bail and a trial of three to four weeks is set to begin on June 6, 2023, with a preliminary hearing to take place earlier in 2023.
