Kevin Spacey Settles UK Civil Sexual Assault Claims Avoiding New Trial

Kevin Spacey reached a confidential settlement with three men over UK civil sexual assault claims, halting a trial scheduled for October after accusations related to his Old Vic tenure.

  • On March 13, Kevin Spacey reached a confidential out-of-court settlement with three men who sued him at London's High Court, with no public disclosure of terms, court documents show.
  • Judge Christina Lambert had earlier ruled the cases be provisionally listed for an October trial after a November ruling, and claimants' lawyers sought evidence from seven other witnesses this month.
  • One claimant, Ruari Cannon, waived anonymity and alleged Spacey groped him after a 2013 Old Vic press night, while others claimed about 12 assaults between 2000 and 2005 and psychiatric damage from a 2008 assault.
  • A court order dated March 13, made public on Wednesday, records that the lawsuits have been stayed by consent with no order on costs and a confidential schedule setting the stay terms.
  • Spacey, now 66, has denied the allegations, was acquitted at a 2023 criminal trial, and has been attempting to rebuild his career through festival appearances and directing work.
