Spacey has previously pleaded not guilty to 12
charges relating to alleged offences against four men, which are
said to have taken place between 2001 and 2013.
The 63-year-old appeared at Southwark Crown Court remotely from
an undisclosed location on Friday morning, ahead of a four-week
trial at the same court which is due to begin in June.
The actor – wearing a grey suit, white shirt and burgundy tie –
spoke only to confirm his name as Kevin Spacey Fowler and that
he could hear proceedings.
Spacey was first charged in May last year with four counts of
sexual assault and one of causing a person to engage in sexual
activity without consent. He pleaded not guilty to those five
charges last July.
Britain's Crown Prosecution Service authorised seven additional
charges in November.
Spacey pleaded not guilty in January to one count of causing a
person to engage in sexual activity without consent, three
counts of indecent assault and three counts of sexual assault .
