OSCAR-winning actor Kevin Spacey will appear in the dock on Thursday charged with five offences.
The star is accused of committing sexual assaults against three men.
Prosecutors allege the incidents happened between 2005 and 2008 in London. The final allegation is said to have happened in 2013 in Gloucestershire.
Spacey was charged after a probe was launched by the Met Police in 2017.
Cops said today that the star, 62, is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Thursday morning.
A spokesperson from the Met said: “Kevin Spacey Fowler has been formally charged today with four counts of sexual assault against three men.

“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against Mr Spacey are active and that he has the right to a fair trial.”
It comes after a file was passed to the Crown Prosecution Service last April.
American Beauty star Spacey was interviewed under caution by the Met in 2019.
He wasn’t arrested, but spoke to officers about a number of allegations.
London’s Old Vic theatre, where Spacey was an artistic director from 2004 to 2015, also apologised as it revealed it had received allegations of inappropriate behaviour.
Theatre bosses said a “cult of personality” had contributed to the organisation’s failings.
Spacey has denied all allegations against him and the final US criminal case was closed in July 2019.
But police in London launched their own probe over sex harassment claims during the star’s time at the Old Vic.
