The trial, commencing on Wednesday, involves 12 charges
against the former House of Cards actor, including sexual assault and indecent
assault.
These charges pertain to incidents involving four men
spanning from 2001 to 2013. Spacey had previously refuted all accusations
brought against him.
On Wednesday morning, the 63-year-old actor approached
Southwark Crown Court, radiating confidence as he acknowledged and greeted the
onlookers with smiles and waves.
Adorned in a well-tailored suit, he was accompanied by
members of his legal team, forming a protective presence by his side.
Stepping out of the vehicle, Spacey exchanged pleasantries
with the assembled photographers, saying ‘morning’ before making his way
inside.
Back in January, the acclaimed actor, who has received an
Oscar, pleaded not guilty to three counts of indecent assault, three counts of
sexual assault, and one count of causing a person to engage in sexual activity
without their consent.
