On Thursday, the British prosecution announced that they will prosecute Kevin Spacey for four cases of sexual abuse of three men in Britain. The atrocities are said to have taken place between 2005 and 2013. But the indictment does not take effect until Spacey has set foot on British soil again. That is why the British government is working to get the shooter extradited if he does not come voluntarily. It tells a source who is close to the process to the newspaper The Guardian. Can take time The process of getting a person extradited can take several months. First, the British government must send over the investigative material they have in the case, so that the US Department of Justice can investigate whether there are different grounds for suspicion. If so, US police will be ordered to arrest Spacey, says Nick Vamos, who previously hired the extradition department of the British prosecution. The US Department of Justice will ask US Marshal to find Spacey and bring him before a federal court. He can also surrender, and not oppose extradition, he tells the newspaper. Spacey may also have more to gain from being formally extradited than if he returns to the UK voluntarily. Among other things, he can only be sued for matters that have been approved by the American court, says Vamos. Losing roles Kevin Spacey was an award-winning and widely used shooter and in Hollywood until 2017. Then the shooter Anthony Rapp told that Spacey should have tried to push him to sex during a party in 1986. Rapp was at that time 14 years old, while Spacey was 26 years. Spacey replied that he did not think about the incident, but apologized if it had happened.

In 2020, Rapp and an anonymous man filed a civil lawsuit against Spacey. The shooter was in a hearing for this trial when he received the message that the British prosecution would target him, writes The New York Times. Got 20 notices in London Several men have pointed shoulders at Spacey after Rapp came forward with his story. Spacey has denied all allegations of abuse. Several of the cases have either been dismissed or withdrawn after they came to court. Between 2004 and 2015, Spacey was artistic director at The Old Vic Theater in London. Conditions he may be charged with in the UK, must have happened during this period. In 2017, the theater said, according to the BBC, that they had received 20 warnings of inappropriate behavior from Kevin Spacey. The theater then regretted that they had not taken the notice more seriously.
