Prosecutors in Los Angeles are reviewing a historical sexual assault accusation against actor Kevin Spacey, officials have confirmed.<\/p>\n
Police have filed evidence about an allegation involving an incident with a man in West Hollywood in 1992.<\/p>\n
More than 30 men have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against the Oscar-winning actor in recent months.<\/p>\n
A spokeswoman for Mr Spacey, 58, has declined to comment.<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department said on Wednesday it began investigating the case in December, and presented it to the Los Angeles District Attorney office for review earlier this month.<\/p>\n
No details of the allegation have been released.<\/p>\n
It is unclear if California’s statute of limitations on prosecuting criminal sexual assault, which is normally 10 years, would apply.<\/p>\n
Kevin Spacey first became embroiled in controversy last November when actor Anthony Rapp accused him of a sexual advance in 1986 when he was 14 and Mr Spacey was 26.<\/p>\n
Mr Spacey claimed to have no memory of the events, but publicly apologised. He has since issued an “absolute” denial of the other allegations that later emerged.<\/p>\n
Police in London are investigating three criminal cases against him.<\/p>\n
The Old Vic theatre in London, where he was artistic director, has said its received 20 complaints of inappropriate behaviour against him<\/a>.<\/p>\n The controversy has led to the actor being axed from a number of roles, including from Netflix series House of Cards and the 2017 movie All the Money in the World, which was re-shot without him.<\/p>\n Source: bbc.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
