Actor's lawyers call the allegations 'damned lies'
Opening the prosecution case at London's Southwark Crown Court, lawyer Christine Agnew told the jury the "predatory" Spacey was not just an extremely famous actor who had won a number of awards but "a man who sexually assaults other men". "Each of these allegations of non-consensual sexual conduct is completely denied," his lawyer Patrick Gibbs said. "Mr Spacey has come back to the UK as he said he would to answer them and say in full in due course what actually happened as he would say it and put all the rumours and conjecture to bed."
The allegations against Spacey, who won Oscars for best actor in 2000 for "American Beauty" and best supporting actor in "The Usual Suspects" in 1996, took place during the more than a decade he spent in London working at the Old Vic theatre.
