00:00 Actor Kevin Spacey has been cleared in all 9 sexual charges by UK court on Wednesday.

00:06 The 64-year-old Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey was visibly emotional as he was acquitted

00:12 of sexual assaulting four men after a four-week trial at Southwark Crown Court.

00:18 Dressed in a dark suit, pink shirt and adorned with a burgundy pocket square and tie, Spacey

00:24 glanced at his legal team as the jury found him not guilty on nine sexual offence charges

00:30 involving four individuals.

00:33 As he stood in the dock on what happened to be his 64th birthday, the Hollywood star placed

00:39 his hand on his chest, cased the juror and silently mouthed words of gratitude, saying

00:45 "Thank you, thank you," as reported by The Guardian.

00:49 Leaving the court, Kevin thanked the jury, "I imagine that many of you can understand

00:55 that there's a lot for me to process after what has just happened today," he said.

01:01 "But I would like to say that I'm enormously grateful to the jury for having taken the

01:07 time to examine all of the evidence and all of the facts carefully before they reached

01:13 their decision, and I'm humbled by the outcome today."

01:18 I also want to thank the staff inside this courthouse, the security and all those who

01:23 took care of us every single day, my legal team, for being here every day."

01:29 Spacey was accused of nine charges, which included multiple counts of sexual assault

01:34 and one count of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without concern.

01:39 The juror took 12 and a half hours over three days to reach their verdict.

01:44 For Spacey, the London case was seen as an opportunity for redemption.

01:48 In an interview with German magazine Z last month, he expressed that there were people

01:53 who would be willing to hire him once he was cleared of these charges in London.
