Jury deliberates in Kevin Spacey's sexual assault trial in London

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 14:58:11 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Jurors in the sexual assault trial of Kevin Spacey retired to begin deliberations on Monday on allegations against the actor by four men that date back two decades.Spacey, 63, has pleaded not guilty to nine charges, including multiple counts of sexual assault and one count of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.The case went to the jury about a month after the nine men and three women were seated in Southwark Crown Court.Spacey's defense lawyer said during closing arguments last week that three of the men are liars and he suggested jurors not convict him for making a “clumsy pass” at a fourth man.The prosecutor called Spacey a “sexual bully” who took advantage of his power as a major celebrity and took what he wanted when he wanted it. The acts alleged between 2001 and 2013 range from unwanted touching to aggressive crotch-grabbing and, in one instance, performing oral sex on an unconscious man.

(The Hill) -- It looks all but inevitable that former President Donald Trump will soon be criminally charged in relation to the events that culminated in the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021.Trump declined to meet with the grand jury investigating the matter late last week.
