LONDON \u2014 Three men who alleged that actor Kevin Spacey sexually assaulted them have settled their civil claims before going to trial at the High Court in London, courts document show.<\/p>\n
The three men alleged that the Academy Award-winning star abused them at times between 2000 and 2013. Spacey has denied the allegations.<\/p>\n
Civil trials were due to start later this year, but case judge Christina Lambert last week ordered the proceedings paused, saying the parties had \u201cagreed to the terms of the settlement.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBy consent, it is ordered that all further proceedings against the defendant in these actions be stayed upon the terms set out in this order and in the confidential schedule,\u201d the judge said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The terms were not disclosed and the judge did not make any order about costs.<\/p>\n
The order, dated March 13, was made public on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Spacey\u2019s representatives have been approached for comment.<\/p>\n
Spacey, now 66, was tried in London in 2023 on nine alleged sex offenses against four men, and acquitted on all counts.<\/p>\n
Two of the civil claimants, whose identities are protected by legal orders, gave evidence during Spacey\u2019s criminal trial.<\/p>\n
Spacey also successfully defended himself against a $40 million civil lawsuit in New York in 2022 brought by \u201cStar Trek: Discovery\u201d actor Anthony Rapp.<\/p>\n
One of the most celebrated actors of his generation until his career was derailed by sex abuse allegations, Spacey starred in films including \u201cGlengarry Glen Ross\u201d and \u201cL.A. Confidential\u201d and the TV political thriller \u201cHouse of Cards.\u201d He won a best supporting actor Academy Award for the 1995 film \u201cThe Usual Suspects\u201d and a lead actor Oscar for the 1999 movie \u201cAmerican Beauty.\u201d<\/p>\n
Spacey was artistic director of London\u2019s Old Vic Theatre from 2004 to 2015.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
