Kevin Spacey is now being investigated by the Met Police over two alleged sex assaults
Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey is being investigated by police in London over a second alleged sex assault, it emerged today.
The House of Cards star, 58, is already the subject of a Scotland Yard probe into an alleged sex attack in Lambeth in 2008.
The Met announced today that a second investigation is now taking place, following a complaint relating to 2005.
The Met declined to identify the alleged attacker but said in a statement: ‘On Wednesday, November 1, City of London Police referred an allegation of sexual assault to the Metropolitan Police Service.
‘It is alleged a man assaulted another man, victim one, in 2008 in Lambeth.
‘On Friday, November 17 a further allegation was made about the same man.
‘The allegations are of sexual assaults against a man, victim two, in 2005 in Lambeth.
‘Officers from the Child Abuse and Sexual Offences Command are investigating.’
Spacey was the artistic director of the Old Vic theatre in Lambeth from 2004 until 15.
It emerged last week that 20 allegations of sexual impropriety by Spacey had been made to the theatre since it started its own internal investigation.
