Kevin Spacey has appeared at Southwark Crown Court where he denied fresh accusations of sexual offences.

The actor, 63, faces the new charges having previously denied five allegations relating to three other men, now aged in their 30s and 40s.

It is the second time Spacey has been in court in relation to the new historical accusations, having appeared in Westminster Magistrates’ Court via video link in December.

The House of Cards star faces seven new charges, including three counts of indecent assault, three counts of sexual assault and one count of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent.

Each of the alleged offences took place between 2001 and 2004.

The actor is accused of sexual touching, touching over clothing and forcing the complainant’s hand against his privates over clothing.

In court on Friday, the actor pleaded not guilty to the seven new sexual abuse charges against one man in the early 2000s.

He again appeared via video link, where he confirmed his identity and pleaded not guilty.

Spacey has now been granted unconditional bail and will face a four-week trial on all charges on June 6.

A pre-trial review is due to take place on April 5.

Following his video appearance in December, Chief magistrate Paul Goldspring granted Spacey unconditional bail ahead of the next court date, which had been set for January 13.

Spacey now faces 12 charges in the UK, relating to four men, which allegedly took place between 2001 and 2013.

In May, it was first reported that the Hollywood star would be charged with four counts of sexual assault against three men, with the offences allegedly taking place between 2005 and 2013 in London and Gloucestershire.

In July of last year, he appeared in court at the Old Bailey to deny five historical allegations relating to the three men.

Spacey rose to fame in the 1990s starring in films such as The Usual Suspects, Se7en and American Beauty before going on to enjoy continued success starring as US President Frank Underwood in Netflix series House of Cards.

He has won two Oscars, a Bafta, Tony and Golden Globe while also receiving multiple Emmy nominations.
