Actor Rauri Cannon sues Kevin Spacey and organizations linked to the Old Vic Theatre in London over alleged abuse. This comes 18 months after Spacey was cleared of criminal charges in a separate case.
Kevin Spacey faces another sexual abuse claim 18 months after being cleared of criminal charges in previous cases. The lawsuit, filed at the High Court, is brought by actor Rauri Cannon , who previously worked with Spacey. Cannon has waived his anonymity in the claim, suing Spacey and two organizations connected to the Old Vic Theatre in London. Details about the case are scarce.
This news comes less than two years after Spacey was found not guilty of sexual assault following a high-profile trial in London. Spacey stood trial at Southwark Crown Court in 2023, facing nine charges of sexual assault and indecent assault, alleged to have occurred against four men between 2001 and 2013. The charges involved the iconic British theatre, the Old Vic Theatre. Spacey vehemently denied all accusations. Following the verdict, a visibly emotional Spacey addressed reporters outside the courthouse, expressing gratitude to the jury for their careful consideration and humility towards the outcome.One of the men alleged Spacey had grabbed him forcefully during an incident at a West End theatre show, comparing it to being 'like a cobra'. He described feeling frozen and pushing Spacey's arm away, characterizing the experience as 'bizarre and horrible'. The man also recounted Spacey's 'barrage of vile comments', suggesting that Spacey may have derived pleasure from his discomfort. Another complainant claimed that Spacey initiated inappropriate contact within weeks of meeting him, making him feel uncomfortable, and attempting to probe his sexuality. Spacey has consistently denied all charges levied against him. During his trial testimony, Spacey claimed to have felt 'pressured' to come out as gay after facing sexual misconduct accusations in 2017, highlighting the 'rush to judgement' that followed. Last year, Spacey was the subject of the Channel 4 documentary 'Spacey Unmasked', featuring ten men who shared their experiences with the actor. All contributors alleged inappropriate behavior. In response, Spacey appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored, where he addressed his 'bad behaviour', describing it as 'pushing boundaries'
