Two-Time Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey will appear in a UK court later this week, charged with multiple sexual offences

Spacey was initially questioned by British police in 20-19 over claims he had assaulted several men, with the former “House of Cards” star running London’s Old Vic theatre between 2004 and 2015.

The nation’s Crown Prosecution Service officially authorised charges against Spacey last month.

Kevin Spacey faces five charges in total.

According to the Crown Prosecution Service, these include:

o Two counts of sexual assault in London in 2005 against one man

o One count of sexual assault in London in 2008 against second man

o And one count of sexual assault in 2013 against a third man in Gloucestershire

o He also faces one count of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent in London in 2008 – and that’s against the second man.

The police have also said that the two of the men are aged in their 30s now.

The other is aged in his 40s.

Police confirmed that he is in the country and have formally charged him.

The charges follow a review of evidence gathered by the Metropolitan Police.

Some weeks ago – Spacey had said he would voluntarily return to the UK to face these charges.

Metropolitan police have confirmed he is now in the country.

Now that police have confirmed he is in the country and have forally charged him, what happens now?

In a statement to Good Morning America in May, Spacey says that he was disappointed that this is going ahead, he was confident he would prove his innocence.

He also reminded people in that GMA statement that he was innocent until proven otherwise

Kevin Spacey is due to appear in Westminster Magistrate’s Court at 10am on Thursday local time.

Trump gives Hamas deadline to accept Gaza peace plan amid rising pressure from Arab states and ongoing conflict in the region

In Short:
– Trump gives Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed Gaza peace plan, warning of consequences.
– Hamas calls the plan biased and insists on a complete Israeli withdrawal before considering any agreement.

U.S. President Donald Trump has given Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed peace plan for Gaza, warning of severe consequences if they reject it.The plan, shared by mediators Qatar and Egypt, emerged after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed it during a visit to the White House. Hamas, which was not part of the talks, is expected to review the proposal that calls for disarmament, a previously rejected demand.

Trump stated that support for the plan came from both Israeli and Arab leaders, and he emphasised the need for Hamas to respond promptly. The proposal includes a ceasefire, hostage exchanges, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and disarmament of Hamas, along with a transitional government.

A Hamas source described the plan as biased towards Israel and containing unacceptable conditions.

The group maintains that a complete Israeli withdrawal is a prerequisite for their agreement to any deal, while they are unwilling to disarm.

Pressure Mounts

Hamas faces significant pressure as foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt have supported the initiative. Turkey’s intelligence head is also set to join discussions in Doha, marking a new level of mediation.

Despite expressing initial support, Netanyahu is cautious about the plan’s implications for Palestinian statehood and faces pressure from his coalition. Public sentiment in Gaza reflects a desire for peace, albeit with scepticism about the sincerity of both Trump and Netanyahu’s commitments.
