Kevin Spacey was granted bail in London court Thursday after his lawyer said the disgraced actor “strenuously denies” the new sex charges brought against him.
Spacey, 62, was charged with four new counts of sexual misconduct against three men on May 26 by prosecutors in the UK.
The allegations stem from incidents in in London between March 2005 and August 2008, and another in western England in April 2013.
The “House of Cards” star sat in court wearing a blue suit during the 30 minute preliminary hearing. The judge has yet to ask for a formal plea, which will be requested in the next hearing on July 14. Spacey was granted bail until then.
“Mr. Spacey strenuously denies any and all criminality in this case,” his lawyer Patrick Gibbs said.
Last month, Spacey said he would be traveling to the UK to “prove my innocence.”
