Kevin Spacey is vowing to fight tooth and nail to prove his innocence after British police charged the disgraced actor with five counts of sexual assault

Authorities are requesting 62-year-old Kevin Spacey return to the United Kingdom voluntarily or face possible extradition.

Now, while the Oscar winner is accused of historic sexual assaults, he can only be formally charged if he returns to the country.

In a statement, Spacey says he intends to fight the allegations and will ‘voluntarily appear’ in the United Kingdom to do so.

Spacey is pleading with the public to allow a fair trial, and notes he is innocent until proven guilty.

Last week, police moved ahead with the charges, which cons four counts of sexual assault on three males, now all in their 30s and 40s.

There is also a fifth count, with allegations, that Spacey forced one of the victims to engage in penetrative sex without consent.

This charge carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.

Threads, the social media platform owned by Meta, is gaining traction with a surge in daily active users, outpacing X in the U.S.

With Threads averaging 28 million daily active users compared to X’s 22 million, Meta’s ambitions to reach a billion users seem within reach despite a slowdown in growth. While X still boasts 550 million monthly active users globally, Threads’ focus on user experience and avoidance of real-time and political content could position it as a formidable competitor moving forward.
