Actor Spacey says he will go to UK to face sex crime charges - Good Morning America

LONDON : Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey has said he will voluntarily appear in Britain"as soon as can be arranged" to face sex crime charges, Good Morning America reported on Tuesday.

Last week, Britain's Crown Prosecution Service said it had authorised charges to be brought against Spacey, 62, on four counts of sexual assault against three men, and a further charge of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent. Police said the alleged assaults had taken place between March 2005 and April 2013 - four in the capital and one in Gloucestershire. They involved one man who is now in his 40s and two men now in their 30s."I very much appreciate the Crown Prosecution Service's statement in which they carefully reminded the media and the public that I am entitled to a fair trial, and innocent until proven otherwise," Good Morning America quoted a statement from the actor as saying.

"While I am disappointed with their decision to move forward, I will voluntarily appear in the UK as soon as can be arranged and defend myself against these charges, which I am confident will prove my innocence."

The comment about billionaires came after Musk, 50, opened a poll on Twitter on Friday and asked his 95.7 million followers who they trust less: politicians or billionaires. In another tweet on Friday, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO said it is “morally wrong and dumb” to use the word “billionaire” as a pejorative, adding, “If the reason for it is building products that make millions of people happy.”
