Kevin Spacey ‘still processing’ after being cleared of sex offences
Watch as Kevin Spacey made a statement outside Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday (26 July) after being cleared of all charges against four men.
The 64-year-old had denied nine charges including sexual assault, which were alleged to have been committed between 2001 and 2013.
"I am humbled by the outcome today" the Hollywood actor said following the verdict.
“I am enormously grateful to the jury to have taken the time to examine all of the evidence and all of the facts” he went onto say.
Over the course of the trial each of Mr Spacey’s four accusers gave evidence, describing him as a “vile sexual predator”, “slippery” and “atrocious, despicable, disgusting”.

00:00 I imagine that many of you can understand that there's a lot for me to process after
00:19 what has just happened today.
00:24 But I would like to say that I'm enormously grateful to the jury for having taken the
00:31 time to examine all of the evidence and all of the facts carefully before they reached
00:40 their decision.
00:42 And I am humbled by the outcome today.
00:47 I also want to thank the staff inside this courthouse, the security and all those who
00:54 took care of us every single day, my legal team, Evan Lowenstein and Lucy, for being
01:00 here every day.
01:03 And that's all I have to say for the moment.
01:06 Thank you very much.
