Kevin Spacey is a 'sexual bully' with no respect for boundaries, prosecutor tells London court

Spacey, 63, has pleaded not guilty to a dozen allegations of sexual offenses alleged to have been committed against four men between the years of 2001 and 2013.

In her opening statement at London’s Southwark Crown Court, Prosecutor Christine Agnew told the jury that Spacey was an extremely famous and award-winning actor,“He is also, the prosecution allege, a man who sexually assaults other men,” she said, according to the news agency. “A man who does not respect personal boundaries or space, a man who it would seem delights in making others feel powerless and uncomfortable — a sexual bully.

Spacey, who won Oscars for best actor in “American Beauty” in 1999, four years after he won best supporting actor for his role in “The Usual Suspects,” Spacey, who is identified in court by his full name, Kevin Spacey Fowler, also attended court on Wednesday, where the judge, Mr. Justice Mark Wall, told the 14 jurors that they must not let media coverage or the defendant’s fame influence their thoughts.
