Kevin Spacey acquitted of all nine sexual offence charges in UK trial

A tearful Kevin Spacey was found not guilty on Wednesday by a jury at a London court of committing historical sex offences against four men.
After more than 12 hours of deliberation, a jury acquitted the Oscar-winning US actor of nine charges, including sexual assault, causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent, and causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity.
Spacey, who turned 64 on Wednesday, began to cry and mouthed “thank you” to the jury, before wiping away tears with a tissue.
After he was released from the dock, he shook hands with his lawyers before leaving the court via a side door.
