On Wednesday, Mr Spacey's birthday, he wept In Court as these were read out.

Outside court, the 64-year-old Oscar winner said he was " humbled" and thanked The Jury for their deliberations.

The Jury acquitted the US actor of seven counts of sexual assault, one count of causing a person to engage in sexual activity Without Consent And One count of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity Without Consent .

After The Verdict was read, he put his hand on his chest, looked at the jurors and mouthed " thank you" twice before they left The Room .

Speaking later to journalists outside Southwark Crown Court , Mr Spacey said there was " a lot for me to process".

" I would like to say that I Am enormously grateful to The Jury for having taken The Time to examine all of The Evidence and all of the facts carefully before they reached their decision, " He Said .

" I Am humbled by the outcome today. I also want to thank the staff inside this courthouse, the security, and all of those who took care of us every single day. "

Jurors rejected The Prosecution 's claims that Mr Spacey had " aggressively" grabbed three men by the crotch and had performed a sex act on another man while he was asleep in his flat.

Prosecutors told The Jury The Star had left The Four complainants feeling " small, diminished and worthless".

Mr Spacey denied all charges - Saying the allegations against him were " weak" " madness" and a " stab in the back".

The Trial at Southwark Crown Court lasted nearly four weeks and heard from multiple witnesses, including Mr Spacey himself.

Defence witnesses included Sir Elton John , who appeared by video link from Monaco, as well as Sir Elton 's husband, David Furnish .

At The Time , he had the starring role of Frank Underwood in Netflix Political Drama House of Cards, which he lost.

He was charged with the offences against three men by the CPS in May 2022, with additional charges from a fourth complainant added in November 2022.
