The actor has been accused multiple times of sexual misconduct, including sexually assaulting two minors in the U.S. One of his accusers was actor Anthony Rapp, who came forward about Spacey’s alleged misconduct in 2017, claiming that Spacey made sexual advances toward him at a house party in 1986, when Rapp was just 14. The charges follow a review of the evidence gathered by the [London] Metropolitan Police in its investigation.”
