Sexual assault civil trials against Kevin Spacey set for next year

On Wednesday, Mrs Justice Christina Lambert set a provisional three-week window for civil trials of Kevin Spacey at the High Court in London in October 2026.
Ruari Cannon and two anonymous men allege Spacey assaulted them as younger men he met through work at the Old Vic theatre during his artistic director years.
Judge Mrs Justice Christina Lambert ordered the three claims case-managed together, with lawyers debating whether to hold a single or separate trial, estimated at eight to nine days or five to six days each.
Spacey denies the allegations and has formally denied two claims while not yet filing a defence to a third claim submitted in September.
A 2023 criminal acquittal and a dismissed 2022 US civil suit mean the new claims join past litigation, with counsel noting 'the only common feature is Kevin Spacey', while one claimant also sues the Old Vic theatre.
