Kevin Spacey has been seen for the first time since he was named among several other A-List names linked to Jeffrey Epstein in bombshell court papers.
The actor, 64, was found not guilty of sexually assaulting four men following a trial in July at Southwark Crown Court.
After being named in the 1,000-page document, Kevin was spotted taking his dog for a walk close to his home in Baltimore.

The Epstein files are part of a defamation case brought against Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving 20 years in jail for sex trafficking underage girls to him.

High-profile people such as Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Al Gore and Stephen Hawking were all included in evidence filings.
Kevin Spacey was also mentioned in the documents once, in which Epstein accuser Johanna Sjoberg denied meeting him.
Sjoberg was asked by an attorney: ‘I may have already asked you, but have you met Kevin Spacey?’ She replied: ‘No’.
Separately, in July last year, Oscar-winning actor Spacey was cleared at Southwark Crown Court in London of a string of alleged sex attacks on younger men which were said to have taken place between 2001 and 2013.
Kevin was found not guilty of sexually assaulting four men following a trial in July at Southwark Crown Court.
He had been accused of abusing his fame and power to enact the nine attacks on his accusers during his tenure as artistic director of the Old Vic theatre.
But he had called the claims ‘madness’, and accused those behind them of lying for financial gain.
As well as being acquitted by an English judge earlier this year, last year Spacey saw off a civil lawsuit brought by stage actor Anthony Rapp, the first person to publicly accuse the actor of sex assault in 2017.

But the damage was already done – the accusations derailed Spacey’s otherwise glittering showbiz career, in which he had starred in huge films such as The Usual Suspects and American Beauty, for which he won Oscars.
He also scooped gongs and nods for his turn as Frank Underwood in the Netflix-produced US remake of House of Cards, and won acclaim for his turns on the boards in a number of stage productions.
Spacey and his production companies were ordered to pay $31million (£25.5million) to House of Cards producers MRC for violating their sexual harassment policy.
MRC said it had been presented with credible claims of inappropriate behaviour by Spacey while on set – conduct that ‘constituted a material breach of his acting and executive producing agreements’, reported entertainment news site Deadline.
Spacey was rushed to hospital last month after reportedly suffering a health scare during a film festival.
