Kevin Spacey settles out of court with three men over alleged sexual assaults
Three men who alleged that actor Kevin Spacey sexually assaulted them have settled their civil claims before going to trial at the High Court in London, courts document show.
The three men alleged that the Academy Award-winning star abused them at times between 2000 and 2013. Spacey has denied the allegations.
Civil trials were due to start later this year, but case judge Christina Lambert last week ordered the proceedings paused, saying the parties had "agreed to the terms of the settlement".

"By consent, it is ordered that all further proceedings against the defendant in these actions be stayed upon the terms set out in this order and in the confidential schedule," the judge said.
The terms were not disclosed and the judge did not make any order about costs.
The order, dated March 13, was made public on Wednesday.
Spacey, now 66, was tried in London in 2023 on nine alleged sex offenses against four men, and acquitted on all counts.

Two of the civil claimants, whose identities are protected by legal orders, gave evidence during Spacey's criminal trial.
Spacey's representatives have been approached for comment.
One of the most celebrated actors of his generation until his career was derailed by sex abuse allegations, Spacey starred in films including Glengarry Glen Ross and LA Confidential and the TV political thriller House of Cards.
