Actor Kevin Spacey to appear in court today accused of a string of sex offences against new alleged victim

 Oscar-winning actor, Kevin Spacey will appear in court accused of a further string of sex offences against a new alleged victim, taking the total number of charges he faces to 12.

 

The House of Cards star, 63, is facing allegations of sexually assaulting a male victim following reported incidents between 2001 and 2004, the Crown Prosecution Service said.

Seven new charges have been authorised against the Hollywood star - three of indecent assault, three of sexual assault and one count of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent.

The actor appeared at the Old Bailey in July to deny five allegations relating to three men who are now in their 30s and 40s. He was granted unconditional bail until a further hearing due to take place next year.

 

The five alleged offences he has already denied are said to have occurred in London and Gloucestershire between 2005 and 2013.

 

At the time, Spacey was artistic director of The Old Vic theatre in London.

 

Mr. Justice Wall set a trial of three to four weeks from June 6 of next year.

 

Spacey, a two-time Academy Award winner, is known for starring in American Beauty, The Usual Suspects, and the political Netflix drama, House of Cards.

Augustine Eguavoen Did A Fine Job As Super Eagles Coach

  By now it is no news to any Nigerian sports fan, that Augustin Eguavoen and his entire team have been relieved of their duties at the helm of affairs of the Nigerian National team. Most Nigerians are happy with this development, with some claiming that his immediate predecessor, Gernot Rohr would have delivered better results. However, a simple analysis of events will clearly demonstrate that Eguavoen did a fine enough job given the circumstances. I will attempt to undertake this analysis by demonstrating, first that Eguavoen has a better record than one might realize, and secondly by comparing the performance of his Super Eagles with that of Afcon winners, Senegal, and runners-up Egypt.
