Actor Kevin Spacey pleaded not guilty in a London court Thursday morning to accusations he sexually assaulted three men more than a decade ago.
Spacey faces four counts of sexual assault and one count of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent - he allegedly forced a man to perform oral sex - linked to incidents that allegedly happened between March 2005 and August 2008 in London. Another alleged incident happened in the western part of the country in 2013.
At the time, the "House of Cards" star, 62, was the artistic director for the West End’s Old Vic theater.

The actor returned to the United States last month after he was granted bail following a preliminary hearing.
