TL;DR Summary

Kevin Spacey has arrived in the UK for his sexual assault trial, where he faces a dozen charges, including sexual assault, indecent assault, and causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent. The trial is scheduled to last for four weeks, and Spacey has pleaded not guilty to all 12 counts. This comes after previous allegations against Spacey, including a civil trial in the US that concluded he did not molest fellow actor Anthony Rapp. Spacey, who was fired from projects such as "House of Cards" amid the #MeToo movement, maintains that his career is not over and believes he will be hired again once cleared of the charges in London.
