CNN: Kevin Spacey Found Not Guilty on All Counts in U.K. Sexual Assault Trial
EXCERPT:
ABDELAZIZ: “Just moments ago, Rahel, and this has been a riveting case that has taken the jury nearly four weeks to hear what has been astounding evidence with Kevin Spacey defending himself against 12 charges that were brought forward by four men. Those were later dropped down to nine offenses. I'm speaking about very serious charges here, three counts of indecent assault, one count of sexual assault, one count of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent, one count of causing a person to engage sexual, penetrative activity without consent. He has now been found not guilty of all of those charges, Rahel. This will, of course, be welcomed by Kevin Spacey and his lawyers. He has said throughout this trial that he welcomes his day in court. He welcomes the opportunity to defend himself. But, again, we are talking about very serious allegations that date back to the early 2000s and 2010s, a period in which Kevin Spacey was the artistic director of the Old Vick Theater here in London.”
