Which prosecution agency charged Kevin Spacey?
Said charges were made public on Thursday by the U.K.’s prosecution agency Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). Over the last year, they have spent several hours taking a closer examination of a file that was handed to them by the Metropolitan Police.
Head of the CSP Special Crime Division, Rosemary Ainslie confirmed that the 62-year-old actor will be thoroughly investigated over these charges. The way in which they describe rape was in line with how correct the CPS can be at times, you don’t often hear the phrase ‘penetrative sexual activity without consent’. Even if it’s in the United Kingdom’s vernacular.
