UK police investigating sex assault linked to Spacey
London police are investigating an alleged 2008 sexual assault reportedly linked to Kevin Spacey in the latest setback for the “House of Cards” star.
Police Friday did not identify Spacey by name but said the department’s child abuse and sexual offences unit is investigating the reported assault after it was referred to police two days ago.
British media including The Sun reported Spacey was the subject of the investigation. The Sun said the new allegation comes from a man who was in his early 20s at the time.
London’s Metropolitan Police released a statement saying the force is investigating a 2008 assault in Lambeth in south London. The statement noted police do not identify people who may or may not be subject to investigation.
