Kevin Spacey: Hollywood actor charged with four sexual assaults
Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey is set to appear in court tomorrow, after he was charged with four counts of sexual assault against three men.
Spacey, 62, who is set to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court tomorrow morning, has also been charged with causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.
The charges come after a review by the Crown Prosecution Service of the evidence gathered by the Met Police.
The Oscar winner has been charged with two counts of sexual assault on a man, who is now in his 40s, in March 2005 in London; sexual assault on a man who is now in his 30s, in August 2008 in London and a separate count of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent on the same man.

He has also been charged with sexual assault on a man, now in his 30s, in April 2013 in Gloucestershire.
Spacey had previously said that he would travel to the UK to face the charges.
The Crown Prosecution Service authorised charges against him last month, but Spacey could only be charged once he had travelled to the UK.
Rosemary Ainslie, head of the CPS Special Crime Division, had previously said: "The CPS has authorised criminal charges against Kevin Spacey, 62, for four counts of sexual assault against three men.

"He has also been charged with causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.
"The charges follow a review of the evidence gathered by the Metropolitan Police in its investigation.
"The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against Mr Spacey are active and that he has the right to a fair trial."
Following the CPS announcement, Spacey said in a statement released to Good Morning America: “While I am disappointed with their decision to move forward, I will voluntarily appear in the UK as soon as can be arranged and defend myself against these charges, which I am confident will prove my innocence.”
