Settlement reached between theatre and actor who accused Kevin Spacey of sexual assault

  • London's Old Vic theatre has reached an out-of-court settlement with actor Ruari Cannon, who alleges he was sexually assaulted by Kevin Spacey in 2013.
  • The confidential settlement between Mr Cannon and the Old Vic was agreed without any admission of liability from the theatre.
  • Mr Cannon is pursuing a separate High Court claim against Kevin Spacey, who denies the allegations of sexual assault.
  • Two other anonymous men are also taking legal action against Mr Spacey, alleging abuse between 2000 and 2015.
  • Lawyers for the claimants argue that seven additional witnesses, who allege similar assaults, should be allowed to give evidence to demonstrate Mr Spacey's 'propensity to sexually assault young men'.
