Disgraced Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey is currently facing trial for several sexual assault allegations in a London court. The two-time Academy Award winner has been accused by four men, who have alleged that Kevin sexually assaulted them between 2001 and 2013.

Just two weeks after the case was started in London Court, Kevin took the stand to defend himself and prove that he was innocent. In Southwark Crown Court, the actor, who swore to speak the truth, denied having non-consensual sex.&nbsp;

Kevin also said that he could not believe that one of the complainants would stab him in the back,&nbsp;''never thought that (the man) I&nbsp;knew would … 20 years later stab me in the back," he said.&nbsp;

Putting his side of the story forward, Spacey described his relationship with one of the complainants as a "funny and charming, and flirtatious" one, BBC reported.&nbsp;

"It became somewhat sexual, but we never had sex together, because he made it clear he didn’t want to go any further," he said.&nbsp;Asked if he was a flirt, Spacey responded: "Yeah, I am a big flirt." When asked about their relationship with one of the men, Spacey said: "I liked him greatly. We had a good time together. We laughed a lot."

Speaking on the non-consensual accusation, he said: "It didn't happen in a violent, aggressive, painful way. It was gentle and it was touching and it was, in my mind, romantic."

He also said: "We never had sex together because he made it clear that he didn't want to go any further and that happens at times and you just respect how far someone wants to go."

<h2>Spacey grabbed a man ‘like a cobra’</h2>

Spacey also reacted to one of the accusations by a man claiming that the actor grabbed his crotch like "a cobra''.

"I never said any of the things that he claims I said to him and I wouldn't and never have to anyone in my life," Spacey said.&nbsp;

He added: "It never happened."

<h2>Spacey on the oral sex allegation</h2>

One complainant accused the actor of performing oral sex and drugging him in his London apartment in the late 2000s. Reacting to this, the actor said, "This is somebody just shaking me down and I've faced this before".

Further addressing the man's allegation that he drugged him,&nbsp;"None of that was true. We had a consensual, I believe nice and lovely evening and then he - if he regretted it immediately, I don't know, I can't speak for him," Spacey said.

<h2>Kevin's sexual harassment</h2>

The 63-year-old Oscar-winning actor is facing a dozen sexual offences, which are said to have occurred between 2001 and 2013.&nbsp;Prosecutor Christine Agnew told the trial at London's Court that Spacey was a "sexual bully" who had assaulted the four men for&nbsp;his sexual gratification, per Reuters.&nbsp;

<h2>What charges can Kevin face if found guilty?</h2>

If the charges levelled against the actor were found to be true, Spacey could face a long time behind bars. Among the 12 &nbsp;charges, the most serious charge that Kevin is facing is engaging a person in penetrative sexual activity without consent. For this, he may face the maximum punishment of life imprisonment.

The actor is one of the Hollywood A-listers who were accused of sexual misconduct by multiple people in 2017 during the #MeToo&nbsp;movement. Actor and singer Anthony Rapp was the first to publicly accuse Spacey of touching him inappropriately at a party in 1986.

Actor Kevin Spacey defends himself in London court, says he had consensual relationships

Oscar-winning Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey was on Friday described as a "sexual bully", as prosecutors opened their case against him in London for a string of sexual offence charges.

"Kevin Spacey Fowler is an actor; many of you will already know that," lawyer Christine Agnew told a jury at Southwark Crown Court, using the star's full name.

"He is an extremely famous actor who has won a number of awards. He is also, the prosecution allege, a man who sexually assaults other men."

Agnew said Spacey, a two-time Academy Award winner for "American Beauty" and "The Usual Suspects", did not respect personal boundaries or space.

He was "a man who it would seem delights in making others feel powerless and uncomfortable, a sexual bully", the lawyer alleged in her opening speech.

"His preferred method of assault is it appears to grab aggressively other men in the crotch. On one occasion things went further than that."

Spacey, 63, denies three counts of indecent assault, seven counts of sexual assault, and one count of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent.

He also pleaded not guilty to a further charge of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.

The alleged offences, against four men who cannot be identified under English law, are said to have occurred between 2001 and 2013.

Agnew said Spacey had dismissed some of the allegations as "quite simply made up", and others that they were consensual.

UK court told Kevin Spacey was a 'sexual bully'

Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey returned to a London courtroom on Wednesday to stand trial for a dozen sexual offences which allegedly occurred more than a decade ago.

The 63-year-old star of American Beauty&nbsp;and drama series House of Cards&nbsp;is facing a four-week trial at Southwark Crown Court in south London.

The prosecution will begin outlining its case against him on Friday, once preliminary legal arguments have been resolved and a jury selected.

Spacey was in court Wednesday for the start of proceedings, arriving by taxi with his legal team not long after 8:00 am (0700 GMT).&nbsp;

Dozens of photographers and journalists were already massed outside to capture his arrival. Walking past the cameras, the Hollywood star looked relaxed and gave a small wave to the gathered media.

Spacey has been on unconditional bail since first appearing in court in Britain last year.

The actor's stellar career has been halted by large numbers of allegations of sexual offences, although he has not been convicted of any crime.

Last year he appeared at London's Old Bailey court to plead not guilty to five offences against three men, including four counts of sexual assault and one of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.

They allegedly took place in 2005 and 2008 in London, and in 2013 in Gloucestershire, western England.

In November, prosecutors then announced seven additional charges involving another man, taking the total number of counts Spacey faces in the UK to 12.

- Denial -

The fresh counts, allegedly committed between 2001 and 2004, comprise three offences of indecent assault, three of sexual assault and one of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent.

Spacey, whose full name is Kevin Spacey Fowler, appeared at Southwark Crown Court in January to deny all the new charges.

He spoke only to confirm his identity and to enter the not guilty pleas.&nbsp;

None of the alleged victims can be identified under English law and reporting restrictions prevent further details being disclosed before trial.

Spacey enjoyed a highly successful acting career with roles such as a middle-aged father lusting after a teen in American Beauty,&nbsp;a serial killer in Se7en&nbsp;and the villain in Superman Returns.

He worked as artistic director at London's Old Vic Theatre between 2004 and 2015.

In 2017 he was one of the first stars caught up in the global #MeToo movement and was accused of sexual assault by multiple young men.

He was dropped from the final season of the political drama House of Cards&nbsp;and other projects.

Last year a New York court dismissed a $40 million sexual misconduct lawsuit brought against Spacey.

The complainant, actor Anthony Rapp, alleged the star had assaulted him when he was 14. He brought the civil case after being told it was too late to bring a criminal charge.

In 2019, charges of indecent and sexual assault were dropped against Spacey in Massachusetts.

In court appearances, Spacey has denied all allegations of sexual assault.

US actor Kevin Spacey returns to UK court for sex offences trial

&nbsp;Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey will go on trial in London next year after pleading not guilty on Thursday to accusations of sex offences dating back almost 20 years. 
 
Spacey is accused of five offences in Britain - four counts of sexual assault by touching, and a more serious charge of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent. Prosecutors say Spacey forced a man to have oral sex. 
 
Speaking clearly, the 62-year-old American actor and producer, whose name was given as Kevin Spacey Fowler, said "not guilty" when each of the charges were put to him at London`s Old Bailey central criminal court. 
 
Wearing glasses and a light blue suit, he sat impassively in the dock during the 20-minute hearing as a trial date of June 6 next year was agreed. 
 
"Thank you my Lord," he told the judge at the end of the hearing. He has been granted unconditional bail. 
 
If found guilty of sexual assault, Spacey could face a six-month prison sentence or an unlimited fine, while the more serious offence carries a maximum punishment of life imprisonment. 
 
Police said the alleged assaults occurred between March 2005 and April 2013 - four in the British capital and one in Gloucestershire, in the west of England. They involved one man who is now in his 40s and two men now in their 30s. 
 
Once one of Hollywood`s biggest stars, Spacey has largely disappeared from public view since being accused of sexual misconduct five years ago. 
 
The 62-year-old, who won Oscars for best actor in "American Beauty" and best supporting actor in "The Usual Suspects", was dropped from the TV show "House of Cards" and removed from the movie "All the Money in the World" after the accusations came to light.

Kevin Spacey back to filming on American soil following sexual assault allegations

A federal judge on Thursday dismissed all claims by one of two men suing the actor Kevin Spacey over alleged sexual misconduct in the 1980s after the plaintiff refused to identify himself publicly. 
 
The dismissal by US District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan came after lawyers for the man known in court papers as CD&nbsp;said revealing his identity would cause "sudden unwanted attention" and be "simply too much for him to bear."

Kaplan ruled on May 3 that Spacey's fame magnified the public interest in knowing who CD&nbsp;was, and that "fairness" required he come forward before continuing the civil damages case. 
 
C.D. said he was 14 in 1983 when he and Spacey began a sexual relationship that ended after he resisted Spacey`s attempts to penetrate him.

The other plaintiff, actor Anthony Rapp, said he was 14 in 1986 when Spacey engaged in an unwanted sexual advance with him during a party at the actor`s home. 
 
Spacey, 61, has denied CD's and Rapp's sexual misconduct accusations. His lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Peter Saghir, a lawyer for CD&nbsp;and Rapp, declined to comment on Thursday. He has suggested that C.D. might pursue an appeal if his case were severed from Rapp's.
