Spacey faces these charges in addition to four other charges in the United Kingdom, which he pleaded not guilty to in July 2022. The four other charges stem from alleged sexual abuse against three men between 2005 and 2013. The alleged victims in all of the cases have not been disclosed per British law restricting it before a trial.

In the United States, Spacey was found not liable by a Manhattan jury in October 2022 for a battery claim brought against him by actor Anthony Rapp in a sexual abuse case. Rapp had alleged that at a party in 1986, Spacey picked him up and put him on a bed before lying on top of him. Rapp was 14 at the time, and Spacey was 26.
Various allegations of sexual assault in 2017 effectively ended Spacey’s career, with him losing his role in the final season of House of Cards and being edited out of the film All the Money in the World. Spacey has insisted on his innocence against all accusations.
