Last month the Crown Prosecution Service , similar to a District Attorney in the U.S., authorized charges to be brought against the actor. He has been charged with four counts of sexual assault in the U.K. against three men between 2005 and 2013. He was also charged with “causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.” The alleged victims are now in their 30s and 40s.
Initially, deputy chief magistrate Tan Ikram referred to Spacey as “Mr Fowler” – his birth name – until the actor’s barrister, Patrick Gibbs QC, explained to the court he would refer to his client as “Mr Spacey.” When the deputy chief magistrate asked Spacey directly how he would prefer to be referred to by the court, the actor indicated he would prefer “Mr Spacey.”
In particular, prosecutor Natalie Dawson said that while she understood Spacey wanted to return to the U.S. to work, and that the CPS did not want to prevent Spacey from working, she said that the agency was concerned about the actor travelling outside the U.K. as the trial approached. Given the potential sentence if convicted, it was “reasonably foreseeable” Spacey would not return to the U.K. to stand trial, Dawson said.
