American actor Kevin Spacey has been charged with four sexual assaults against three men, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) announced on Thursday. “The CPS has authorized criminal charges against Kevin Spacey, 62, on four counts of sexual assault against three men,” Rosemary Ainslie, head of the CPS’s Special Crimes Division, said in a statement.
This announcement comes as the actor made a remarkable return to cinema at Cannes, his latest film being presented at the festival market. Filmed very discreetly last September in the Californian county of Siskiyou, on the border with Oregon Peter Five Eight is a thriller. Michael Zaiko’s feature film, with the aforementioned slogan that sounds like a mise en abyme of the actor’s situation, follows an attractive and competent young real estate agent working in a small mountain town. Camped by Jet Landreau, Sam hides a dark and unbalanced past marked by alcoholism. The arrival of Peter at the wheel of a black sedan can only mean the arrival of trouble. This mysterious man, played by Kevin Spacey, is in the pay of a troubled godfather. Rebecca de Mornay is also on the bill.
