Kevin Spacey Faces New Civil Sex-Assault Claims in London
Kevin Spacey, a famous actor, is facing new legal trouble.
Three men are suing him in a London court, saying he sexually assaulted them many years ago.
One of the men is Ruari Cannon, who used to be a performer.
The other two men are not named publicly.
The court has set a trial date for October 2026, but it's not yet decided if all three cases will be heard together or separately.
Spacey has denied all the new allegations.
He also said he's been having a hard time financially because of all the legal battles.
In a previous trial, Spacey was found not guilty of similar charges.
One of the men suing Spacey is also blaming the Old Vic Theatre for not protecting him.
Kevin Spacey faces new civil sex-assault claims from three men in London court.
One claimant, Ruari Cannon, has waived anonymity and is seeking damages for alleged abuse.
The alleged abuse occurred between 2000 and 2013, with one claimant alleging an incident in August 2008.
The trial is provisionally scheduled for October 12, 2026, with a three-week window for hearings.
