Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey pleaded not guilty in a London court on Friday to seven more charges of sexual offences, denying a series of alleged sexual assaults on a man some 20 years ago.
Spacey, 63, appeared at Southwark Crown Court via video link charged with one count of inducing sexual activity without the consent of a person, three counts of indecent assault and three counts of sexual assault.
The actor – wearing a dark jacket, white shirt and pink tie – spoke only to confirm his name as Kevin Spacey Fowler and enter seven not guilty pleas during the brief hearing.
Judge Mark Wall agreed to merge the seven-count indictment with an earlier five-count indictment, which includes four counts of sexual assault and one count of inducing sexual activity without consent.
Spacey has pleaded not guilty to them five charges last July.
The seven additional charges, which were approved by the British Crown Prosecution Service in November, relate to one complainant and relate to alleged offenses between 2001 and 2005.
Spacey was granted unconditional bail ahead of a pre-trial hearing in April. His trial, which is currently set to begin in June, is expected to last four weeks.
