Kevin Spacey has reached an out-of-court settlement with three men who had accused him of sexual assault, halting civil trials that were set to begin later this year at the High Court. The allegations date from 2000 to 2013, including claims by two men who had previously accused Spacey during a 2023 criminal trial in which he was cleared of nine sexual offence charges. One man, identified only as LNP, alleged multiple assaults between 2000 and 2005. Another, GHI, claimed an assault in 2008 after meeting Spacey through a workshop at London’s Old Vic, where Spacey served as artistic director from 2004 to 2013. The third accuser, Ruari Cannon, publicly waived his anonymity and said Spacey groped him after a 2013 press night party. Spacey denies all allegations, calling them “ridiculous.” Terms of the settlements were not disclosed. The actor was cleared of nine separate sexual offence charges at a criminal trial in 2023.
