Kevin Spacey has reached an out-of-court settlement with three British men who sued the disgraced actor after accusing him of sexual assault.
Spacey, 66, was attributable to go on trial within the U.K. High Court in October, but those proceedings will now not happen after a confidential settlement was reached.
The boys, who brought civil motion against Spacey, alleged that he assaulted them between the years 2000 and 2013. Two of them were also complainants who gave evidence in Spacey’s 2023 criminal trial in London, where he faced nine charges of sexual assault but was eventually acquitted on all counts. A civil lawsuit against Spacey in Recent York was also dismissed in 2022.

The Oscar-winning actor, who was first accused of sexual assault in 2017, has denied all allegations against him and maintains that the incidents raised within the lawsuits either didn’t occur or were consensual.
Considered one of the boys, referred to as “LNP,” accused Spacey of “deliberately” assaulting him about 12 times between 2000 and 2005.
One other accuser, who goes by “GHI,” claimed he first encountered Spacey at a workshop on the Old Vic theatre in London, where the Hollywood actor was artistic director between 2004 and 2013, and “suffered psychiatric damage and financial loss” within the aftermath of a 2008 assault.
Kevin Spacey leaves the USA District Court for the Southern District of Recent York on Oct. 6, 2022, in Recent York City. Five years after sexual misconduct allegations ended his Hollywood profession, Spacey appeared in a Recent York court to face a civil lawsuit brought by actor Anthony Rapp, who accuses the disgraced Oscar winner of assaulting him as a young person in 1986.

The third man, Ruari Cannon, who selected not to stay anonymous, was starring in a production of Tennessee Williams’ play Sweet Bird of Youth on the Old Vic in 2013 when he alleged he was assaulted by Spacey at a press night party.
Following the allegations, Spacey was fired from the TV show House of Cards, where he starred as Frank Underwood for five seasons. In late 2025, he told the Telegraph that his legal troubles had left him effectively “homeless.”
“The prices over these last seven years have been astronomical,” Spacey said. “I’ve had little or no coming in and every thing going out.
“You get through it. In weird ways, I feel I’m back to where I first began, which is, I just went where the work was. All the pieces is in storage, and I hope in some unspecified time in the future, if things proceed to enhance, that I’ll give you the chance to determine where I need to cool down again.
“I’m living in hotels, I’m living in Airbnbs, I’m going where the work is. I literally haven’t any home, that’s what I’m attempting to clarify.”
At a hearing earlier this month, it was revealed that Cannon had reached a settlement with the Old Vic. At the identical meeting, lawyers representing the three men argued that evidence from seven additional witnesses alleging abusive behaviour by Spacey ought to be heard at trial, the BBC reported.
The main points of the settlements reached between Spacey and his accusers haven’t been revealed.
