Overview
- High Court judge Christina Lambert provisionally scheduled proceedings to begin on 12 October 2026 in London.
- Three men filed civil claims alleging incidents between roughly 2000 and 2013–2015, many linked to Spacey’s tenure at the Old Vic theatre.
- Actor Ruari Cannon waived anonymity and alleges Spacey groped him at a 2013 party tied to an Old Vic production.
- The two other claimants remain anonymous, with one alleging about a dozen assaults in the early 2000s and another alleging an August 2008 assault that led to psychiatric harm and financial losses; one of these claims was first filed in 2022 but paused during the criminal case.
- Spacey denies the allegations and has filed formal responses to two of the three suits, with his prior UK acquittal in 2023 and a 2022 U.S. civil not‑liable verdict forming the legal backdrop.
