Actor Kevin Spacey has been cleared of all charges after a four-week trial in London on claims of sexual assault.
During the trial, prosecutor Christine Agnew told jurors that Spacey was “a sexual bully” and a man who “delights in making others feel powerless and uncomfortable.” The actor said the charges were “madness” and a “stab in the back.”
In a brief statement to reporters outside the court shortly after the verdict, Spacey said he was “humbled.”
“I imagine that many of you can understand that there’s a lot for me to process after what has just happened today. But I would like to say that I’m enormously grateful to the jury for having taken the time to examine all of the evidence and all of the facts carefully, before they reached their decision. And I am humbled by the outcome today,” he said.
