As the #MeToo movement – relating to sexual abuse and assault in the entertainment industry – continues with haste, Hollywood actor and Oscar winner Kevin Spacey is once more in the headlines. While the 58-year-old American actor was initially accused of abuse in November 2017 by “Star Trek Discovery” actor Anthony Rapp when he was 14 years of age, new allegations have now raised their heads in both London and Gloucester.

The BBC reports that the London Metropolitan Police are currently investigating Spacey on allegations received by them that Spacey had been responsible for assaulting up to three men in both Gloucester and London.

These allegations surfaced between February and April of 2018. While the Metro Police have not officially released the name of the person under investigation, the BBC reports that the investigation does, indeed, relate to actor Spacey.

Metropolitan Police investigate Hollywood actor

NME said in their report that the latest allegations against Spacey are said to have occurred in Westminster, London in 1996, in Lambeth in 2008, while the third occurred in Gloucester in 2013. Spacey is already facing sexual assault allegations relating to more than 30 men. In that report, they state that the Metro Police’s Child Abuse and Sexual Offences Command is involved in the investigation.

When Rapp spoke out about the incident with the then 26-year-old actor when he was a 14 and new to acting, Spacey said he had no memory of the incident, but did go ahead and publically apologise, in case he had done it.

He later absolutely denied all the other assault allegations that emerged after Rapp’s statement.

Kevin Spacey and his career

The once highly popular Hollywood actor won two Oscars for his performances in the 1996 Film “The Usual Suspects” and for the 2000 movie “American Beauty.”

The BBC reports that Spacey acted as artistic director at London’s Old Vic Theatre between the years 2004 and 2015.

He was more recently the lead in the hit TV series “House of Cards.” When the assault allegations first surfaced, he lost his role in the television series and at that time, the Independent reported that Greg Kinnear would be taking the lead role [VIDEO] in the final season of the show.

Spacey was also recast in the movie "All the Money in the World," a film about the kidnapping of John Paul Getty III at the age of 16.

That plum role was given to 88-year-old Christopher Plummer and various scenes were recreated with the new leading man.

The film headed to cinemas in January this year. Despite all the controversy surrounding the Hollywood actor, NME reports that Spacey will be seen later this month in the film “Billionaire Boys Club,” which was filmed in 2016 and stars Emma Roberts, Taron Egerton, Ansel Elgort and Suki Waterhouse, among others.
