Old Vic Reaches Confidential Settlement With Kevin Spacey Accuser as High Court Weighs Extra Testimony

The deal leaves Spacey still contesting lawsuits, with a ruling pending on whether seven other men may give evidence at trial.

Overview

  • The Old Vic said it settled Ruari Cannon’s separate claim out of court on confidential terms with no admission of liability.
  • Ruari Cannon continues his High Court case against Kevin Spacey over an alleged 2013 assault linked to an Old Vic event.
  • Two additional anonymous claimants are also suing, alleging abuse that they say occurred between 2000 and 2015.
  • Claimants seek permission to call seven further witnesses whose accounts span the 1970s to the 2010s, with Mrs Justice Lambert to decide after hearings conclude Wednesday.
  • Spacey’s legal team argues the extra accounts are irrelevant or dissimilar, citing an anonymous allegation labeled GHI, and Spacey denies wrongdoing.
