Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey pleaded not guilty in a London court on Friday to seven charges of sexual misconduct, denying several alleged sexual assaults on one person between 2001 and 2004.
Spacey, 63, appeared at Southwark Crown Court by video link charged with one count of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent, three counts of indecent assault and three counts of sexual assault.
The actor – wearing a dark jacket, white shirt and pink tie – spoke only to confirm his name as Kevin Spacey Fowler and entered seven pleas of not guilty during the brief hearing.
Judge Mark Wall agreed to join the seven-count indictment to the previous five-count indictment, which features four counts of sexual assault and one count of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent.
Spacey pleaded not guilty to five charges last July.
Spacey’s trial will begin on June 6 and last three to four weeks. This could be at the Old Bailey, the site of Britain’s highest criminal trials.
Spacey, who has addresses in London and the United States, was granted bail and allowed to return to the US after a preliminary hearing in June.
