Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey has this morning been cleared on all charges of sexual assault after a four-week trial in London. Brett_McLeod 9News MORE:
"I imagine that many of you can understand that there's a lot for me to process after what has just happened today," he said, emotion obvious in his voice.
All the men said the contact was unwanted but Spacey testified that the young actor and another man had willingly participated in consensual acts.He said a third man's allegation that he grabbed his privates like a striking "cobra" backstage at a theatre was "pure fantasy". Spacey had faced nine charges, including multiple counts of sexual assault and one count of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.
One of the men broke down when speaking with police as he provided details in a videotaped interview about the oral sex incident that he said he'd never told anyone before.
