Kevin Spacey is set to hear the prosecution’s opening arguments as his sexual assault trial gets underway. The Oscar-winning actor has denied 12 charges of sex offences, including sexual assault and indecent assault, against four men.

Before the jury panel was selected for the trial earlier in the week, Mr Justice Mark Wall told prospective jurors: ‘I am sure the defendant will be gratified to know that many of you will know his name or have seen his films,’ referring to Spacey’s stellar acting career.

The judge added that the case has ‘quite obviously’ attracted a lot of media attention, but that they ‘must avoid this coverage where you can’.In a preliminary court hearing in June, Spacey’s lawyer, Patrick Gibbs KC, said his client ‘strenuously denies any and all criminality in this case’. Spacey is best known for starring in a string of blockbuster movies including Superman Returns, Horrible Bosses and Pay It Forward.

He has earned two Oscars, the first for his supporting role in The Usual Suspects and then receiving the best actor award for his lead performance in American Beauty.
