• Terms of the settlement were not disclosed, and the court order formally suspends proceedings.
• Two claimants, identified as LNP and GHI, alleged multiple incidents and lasting harm, and both had given evidence in Spacey’s 2023 criminal case.
• Actor Ruari Cannon waived anonymity, alleged groping at a 2013 Old Vic event, and separately reached an undisclosed settlement with the theatre.
• Spacey has consistently denied wrongdoing, was acquitted of nine charges in London in 2023, and previously won a U.S. civil case in 2022.
