Kevin Spacey was in court in London to hear the verdict on Wednesday
Actor Kevin Spacey has been cleared of all charges in his sexual assault trial in London.
The jury returned not guilty verdicts for nine sexual offence charges relating to four men between 2001 and 2013.
The 64-year-old Oscar winner had denied the allegations and previously called the case against him “weak”.
Mr Spacey cried at Southwark Crown Court as the not guilty verdicts were read out.
Having heard the verdicts, he hugged his manager and legal team, still in tears, and thanked the court staff.
The jury acquitted the actor of seven counts of sexual assault, one count of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent and one count of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.
Mr Spacey denied all charges – saying the allegations against him were “madness” and a “stab in the back”.
