US actor Kevin Spacey has made his first appearance in a London court after being charged with four counts of sexual assault against three men.
Spacey spoke to confirm his name during Thursday's brief procedural hearing, and a judge set a date of July 14 for his next hearing. Spacey's lawyer told the court he "strenuously denies" all allegations of criminality.
He was granted unconditional bail after his lawyer told the court he would need to return to the United States between court dates.
After recent burglaries at homes of professional athletes – including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce – the NFL and NBA have issued security memos to teams and players warning that “organized and skilled groups” are increasingly targeting players’ residences for such crimes.
