Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey has agreed to an out-of-court settlement with three men who had sued him after accusing him of sexual assault. The civil cases had been due to go to trial at the High Court later this year, but those proceedings have now been frozen following the settlement. The men alleged that Spacey assaulted them between 2000 and 2013.
The 66-year-old actor denies all allegations of wrongdoing and was cleared of nine sexual offence charges at a criminal trial in 2023. Two of the men who accused Spacey during the criminal trial also filed civil cases. One, known only as LNP, asserted that Spacey deliberately assaulted him about 12 times between 2000 and 2005. Another man, identified as GHI, claimed he suffered psychiatric damage and financial loss due to an assault by Spacey in 2008.
Ruari Cannon, the third claimant, has waived his right to anonymity and alleged that Spacey groped him at a party after performing in Tennessee Williams' play at the Old Vic theatre in 2013. Cannon participated in a documentary discussing Spacey's actions. No details of the settlements between Spacey and his accusers have been made public.
