Kevin Spacey is staring down the barrel of a sex offences trial after Britain’s Crown Prosecution Service authorised charges against the actor.

Police allege the offences occurred between March 2005 and April 2013, with four of the incidents in London and one outside the city.

They involve three men, one who is now in his 40s and two who are in their 30s.

The CPS has authorised criminal charges against the 62-year-old Oscar winner for four counts of sexual assault.

There is also one charge of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.

This all follows a review of evidence which previously gathered by the U-K’s Met Police.

Spacey has largely dropped out of the spotlight since first being accused of sexual misconduct five years ago.

He was written out of the Netflix series “House of Cards” and removed from the movie “All the Money in the World” after the accusations came to light.
