Kevin Spacey has not been found guilty.

K.J. Yossman Over the five weeks I’ve spent reporting on Kevin Spacey’s trial for sexual assault, I’ve been struck more than once by how much the experience could be mistaken for an immersive theater show.

K.J. Yossman Kevin Spacey’s fate now lies with 12 members of the British public. Five weeks after the “House of Cards” actor’s trial for sexual assault first began at Southwark Crown Court in London, the jury has retired to consider the verdict. On Monday morning Judge Wall, who has been presiding over the case, walked jurors through all the evidence they had heard over the last month to help refresh their memories. Since the trial first began on June 28, the jury has heard from four men who have each accused Spacey of sexual or indecent assault between 2004 and 2013, as well as from their friends and family. They also heard from witnesses for the defense, including Spacey himself as well as Elton John and David Furnish, who testified as to Spacey’s presence at their annual White Tie and Tiara ball, plus numerous character witnesses, including Spacey’s niece.

The prosecution in Kevin Spacey's criminal sexual assault trial claimed the actor got away with his behavior because of his celebrity status in closing arguments Wednesday. Spacey seized brief moments for an "opportunity grab" and was able to get away with the assaults for years, because he was a celebrity who took advantage of his power, prosecutor Christine Agnew said. Spacey is on trial after pleading not guilty to charges of sexual assault, indecent assault and causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.

“History is littered with those who are benevolent to some and cruel to others,” the prosecutor in the Kevin Spacey trial concluded with today.
