Actor Kevin Spacey leaves Southwark Crown Court in London, June 28, 2023.
LONDON () — Three men who alleged that actor Kevin Spacey sexually assaulted them have settled their civil claims before going to trial at the High Court in London, courts document show.
The three men alleged that the Academy Award-winning star abused them at times between 2000 and 2013.
Civil trials were due to start later this year, but case judge Christina Lambert last week ordered the proceedings paused, saying the parties had “agreed to the terms of the settlement.”.
“By consent, it is ordered that all further proceedings against the defendant in these actions be stayed upon the terms set out in this order and in the confidential schedule,” the judge said.
The terms were not disclosed and the judge did not make any order about costs.
The order, dated March 13, was made public on Wednesday.
Spacey’s representatives have been approached for comment.
Spacey, now 66, was tried in London in 2023 on nine alleged sex offenses against four men, and acquitted on all counts.
Two of the civil claimants, whose identities are protected by legal orders, gave evidence during Spacey’s criminal trial.
Spacey also successfully defended himself against a $40 million civil lawsuit in New York in 2022 brought by “Star Trek: Discovery” actor Anthony Rapp.
The health significance of the development depends on confirmed data, public advisories and the response of medical or public-health authorities. Any claim involving risk to patients, medicines, outbreaks or hospital systems should be read alongside official guidance.
For India and other large public systems, such updates are useful when they connect global or national figures with practical questions of access, affordability, prevention, district readiness and communication to vulnerable groups.
