Actor Kevin Spacey will face three more civil claims of sexual assault at London's High Court next year, the BBC and Sky News reported.
BBC News reported Nov. 26 that the three men have sued the star, claiming that they were assaulted between 2000 and 2013. During a London High Court hearing, a provisional trial date was set for Oct. 12.
Spacey, 66, has consistently denied allegations of wrongdoing. The Academy Award-winning actor has formally denied two of the claims and has yet to file a defense to the third, which was submitted in September, according to Sky News.
A London jury cleared Spacey of nine sexual offense charges at a high-profile 2023 criminal trial.
One man in the new case alleges that Spacey "deliberately assaulted" him on about 12 occasions between 2000 and 2005. Another met Spacey at a London Old Vic theater workshop and claims he "suffered psychiatric damage and financial loss" as a result of a 2008 assault, according to the BBC report.
The American actor was the artistic director of the London Old Vic theater from 2004 to 2013.
The third man, Ruari Cannon, waived his right to anonymity and appeared in the 2024 Channel 4 documentary "Spacey Unmasked." Cannon starred in a 2013 Old Vic production of "Sweet Bird of Youth" at the Old Vic and claims Spacey groped him at a party after the play’s opening night.
Representatives for Spacey did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for comment on the latest legal update.
The "House of Cards" actor, who has faced widespread allegations of sexual misconduct since 2017, recently shared in an interview that he was "living in hotels" and "in Airbnbs," adding that "I have no home."
Speaking with Britain's The Telegraph in an interview published Nov. 19, Spacey alluded to struggling financially. "I've had very little coming in and everything going out … I'm going where the work is," he said.
