Kevin Spacey Questioned by Scotland Yard Over Sexual Assault Allegations
Actor Kevin Spacey has been questioned in the U.S. by officers from Scotland Yard about the sexual assault allegations he faces in the U.K., Variety has learned. The Oscar-winning star voluntarily submitted to the interview, which took place in May, and was not arrested, police said, adding that the investigation continues.
Six allegations of sexual assault have been lodged against Spacey at Scotland Yard, which is also known as London’s Metropolitan Police force. The alleged offenses against six different men date to between 1996 and 2013.
Officers from the Met’s Complex Case team questioned Spacey in the U.S., police said, without specifying exactly where the meeting took place or whether it focused on one or more of the allegations. “In May 2019, a man was voluntarily interviewed under caution in America, by officers from the Met’s Complex Case Team,” the force said in a statement to Variety. “He was not arrested. Inquiries are ongoing.” (In British police parlance, “under caution” means that the interviewee was informed of his rights.)
A legal representative for Spacey did not respond to a request for comment. The “House of Cards” and “American Beauty” star has not faced any formal charges relating to the U.K. allegations.
