In civil and criminal cases, Academy Award-winning actor Kevin Spacey has been portrayed as a sexual predator, and he became persona non grata in Hollywood. But after successfully fending off a lawsuit accusing him of molesting a teenage actor, he has been cleared by a criminal court in London of sexually assaulting four men.
A jury of nine men and three women deliberated for about 12 hours before finding the actor not guilty Wednesday of nine charges, including several sexual assault charges and a charge of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent. The case was among several to arise against Spacey amid the #MeToo movement as the actor fell from grace and went largely without work after 2017. He has since emerged unscathed, at least legally, in an era that has seen other high-profile figures in Hollywood imprisoned or found liable for millions
