The charges against Spacey include sexual assault, sexual indecency, and non-consensual sexual activity. These allegations have been made by four men between 2001 and 2013.

The prosecutor, Christine Agnew, warned the jury against being swayed by Spacey’s fame and described him as a man who lacks respect for personal boundaries, enjoys making others feel powerless, and acts as a sexual bully.

The trial is expected to be prolonged, and Agnew explained the charges without revealing the identities of the complainants, who are protected by U.K. law.

Agnew detailed the allegations made by each complainant. The first complainant stated that Spacey would aggressively grab and grope, deriving sexual pleasure from this behavior. The second complainant shared an incident where Spacey forcefully grabbed him at a work event in 2005 and laughed when pushed away. The third complainant described an encounter at the Old Vic theater where Spacey took advantage and performed a sex act on him without consent. Lastly, the fourth complainant claimed that Spacey grabbed his crotch and told him to “be cool” when he attempted a kiss on his neck. Agnew emphasized that Spacey abused his influence to fulfill his desires.

In his brief opening statement, Spacey’s lawyer, Patrick Gibbs, acknowledged that Spacey would provide his version of the events in due course. Gibbs questioned the motives of the accusers, suggesting that they may have been driven by greed and a desire for fame and influence. He indicated that some of the allegations may have been exaggerated or falsely manufactured to damage Spacey’s reputation.
