"Kevin Spacey Faces Trial as 'Sexual Bully' Allegations Surface"

The U.K. trial of actor Kevin Spacey, who faces 12 charges of sexual assault, began with the prosecutor describing him as a "sexual bully" who "delights in making others feel powerless and uncomfortable." The charges stem from complaints made by four men who allegedly experienced unwanted touching and aggressive behavior from Spacey. One complainant reported waking up to Spacey performing oral sex on him. Spacey's lawyer denied any wrongdoing, suggesting that some encounters may have been consensual at the time. Following the criminal trial, some complainants are pursuing a civil case against Spacey. The trial is expected to last at least four weeks.
