Kevin Spacey To Star In Film About Pedophilia 3 Years After Felony Sexual Assault Charge
In 2017, after a dozen or so allegations of sexual assault (in the U.S. & U.K.), Kevin Spacey was eventually hit with a felony sexual assault charge in 2018 and in January 2019 he plead not guilty. In July 2019, the criminal charge was dropped, but he still faced a slew of other allegations, which continued to derail his career. Now, nearly four years since his first mainstream accusation (by Anthony Rapp), Spacey’s set to star in a film about pedophilia.
In addition to his 2018 charge being dropped and having three of his accusers pass away ahead of any trials (one by suicide, one by car accident, and a third by an unreported cause), Spacey lost his role in Netflix’s ‘House of Cards,’ had his movie ‘Gore‘ shelved, and faced additional blows to his career and personal life.

But now, it’s being reported by The Telegraph that Spacey is due to return to the big screen in a film about a wrongly accused pedophile. The publication shares that Spacey will co-star with Vanessa Redgrave, playing a detective in a movie created by Redgrave’s husband, Italian director Franco Nero. In the film, entitled ‘L’uomo che disegnò Dio (The Man Who Drew God),’ Spacey’s character, will investigate accusations of pedophilia against a blind artist.
