Scotland Yard has opened a third investigation into sexual assault allegations against Kevin Spacey, police said Wednesday.
The latest accusation was brought to police on Dec. 13 by a man who says the Oscar-winning actor sexually assaulted him in Westminster in 2005, Scotland Yard said in a statement to multiple outlets.
The subsequent investigation is the third against the actor. Two other probes involve alleged sexual assaults in 2005 and 2008.
Spacey was first accused of predatory behavior in October by actor Anthony Rapp, who claimed the "American Beauty" star made an unwanted sexual advance toward him when he was just 14.
Similar allegations quickly began flooding in against Spacey, and he was promptly fired from Netflix's "House of Cards" and Ridley Scott's "All the Money in the World."
The actor served as the artistic director at London's Old Vic theater from 2004 to 2015. The venue in November claimed it had received 20 complaints of inappropriate behavior during Spacey's tenure.
He also stands accused of inappropriate conduct on the set of "House of Cards" after eight Netflix employees came forward with claims that Spacey created a "toxic" work environment with "nonconsensual touching and crude comments."
