The Hollywood star is accused of inappropriately touching a 21-year-old man at The Savoy hotel in 2013 after a press night

which have been rejected by Mr Spacey, 64, are due to be aired in a Channel 4 documentary series.

On Thursday, Mr Spacey posted a statement on X, formerly Twitter, accusing Channel 4 of not giving him enough time to “respond to allegations made against me dating back 48 years”, which he described as “anonymised and non-specific”. He also said that he would “not sit back and be attacked by a dying network’s one-sided ‘documentary’ about me in their desperate attempt for ratings”.

Channel 4’s description adds: “In 2023 Spacey was acquitted of sexual offences against four men in a UK trial. This two-part series will investigate Spacey’s conduct and talks to multiple men unconnected to that case about their experiences with Kevin Spacey, almost all of whom have never spoken before.”

“I put my hand out and I said, ‘Thank you so much for the gift,’ and he pulled me in very close with his right hand and sort of turned me 45 degrees,” said Mr Cannon, alleging: “He put his left hand down by my bum and he stuck his middle finger as far up me as possible. I was wearing a suit, so he took up the recess material and just tried to go up through my boxers up inside me.

Mr Cannon claims the alleged incidents affected his self-worth, confidence, trust in other people, and his desire to continue acting.
