Actor Kevin Spacey appeared in court in London via videolink from the Middle East, accused of seven new sexual offenses against a man in the early 2000s.

The 63-year-old star of"The Usual Suspects" and"American Beauty" has previously denied five similar allegations against three other men.

But his"travel plans had changed", and he was instead appearing from the Middle East, without elaborating. "He would not have got here from the airport, would he, with the rail strike?" the judge said, amid a wave of industrial unrest in Britain. Spacey, who was artistic director at London's Old Vic Theatre between 2004 and 2015, in October saw a New York court dismiss a $40 million sexual misconduct lawsuit brought against him.Anthony Rapp alleged the star targeted him when he was 14. He brought the civil case after being told it was too late to bring a criminal charge
