Two of the men who accused the Oscar-winning star during the criminal trial also filed civil legal cases at the High Court.

One man, known only as LNP, alleged that Spacey “deliberately assaulted” him on about 12 occasions between 2000 and 2005.

Another, referred to as GHI, says he met Spacey through a workshop at London’s Old Vic theatre and claimed he “suffered psychiatric damage and financial loss” as a result of an assault in 2008.

Spacey was artistic director of the Old Vic between 2004 and 2013.

The third man, Ruari Cannon, has waived his right to anonymity.

He was in Tennessee Williams’ play Sweet Bird of Youth at the Old Vic in 2013, and alleged that Spacey groped him at a party after the show’s press night.

Cannon took part in a Channel 4 documentary, Spacey Unmasked, in 2024.

Spacey said the allegation was “ridiculous and it never happened”.

At a hearing earlier this month, the claimants’ lawyers said evidence from seven other witnesses alleging similar abusive behaviour should be heard when the case came to trial.

That hearing also heard that Cannon had reached a settlement with the Old Vic.

No details of the settlements between Spacey and his accusers have been revealed.
