Hollywood's Many Men Accused of Sexual Misconduct

Back in October, Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of sexual misconduct, saying the actor made an unwanted sexual advance toward him when he was 14. In response, Spacey issued an apology and came out publicly as a gay man. He then checked into a treatment center in early November.

"Kevin Spacey is taking the time necessary to seek evaluation and treatment," his rep said in a statement to E! News at the time. "No other information is available at this time."

Since that time, a number of men in both the United States and England have accused Spacey of sexual misconduct. In early November, London police opened an investigation into an allegation of sexual assault made against Spacey. Later that month, police said they were investigating a second case and in a statement in January, they said they received a report about an alleged third past assault.

E! News has reached out to Spacey's attorney for comment.
