Actor Kevin Spacey charged with assault

Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey has been charged over allegations of sexually abusing an 18-year-old boy, prosecutors in the US state of Massachusetts said.

District attorney Michael O’Keefe said that Spacey would appear in court in the new year in connection with the incident at a bar in Nantucket, Massachusetts, more than two years ago.

Spacey faces a single charge of indecent assault and battery, according to court documents.

In November 2017, former TV news anchor Heather Unruh alleged that Spacey sexually assaulted her then-18-year-old son after buying him alcohol.

Spacey’s lawyer did not immediately reply to US media requests for comment.

However, the actor released a video on YouTube on Monday, entitled, Let Me Be Frank, in which he adopts the persona of his character Frank Underwood in the popular Netflix TV series ‘House of Cards’.
