It is understood that he was passed on to the Metropolitan Police, which has released a statement concerning a 2008 incident in Lambeth.

“On Wednesday, November 1, City of London Police referred an allegation of sexual assault to the Metropolitan Police Service.

“It is alleged a man assaulted another man in 2008 in Lambeth. Officers from the Child Abuse and Sexual Offenses Command are investigating.”

It is understood that the aspiring actor asked Spacey, who was the artistic director at London’s Old Vic Theater from 2004–2015, for help with his career.

The Old Vic released a statement this week, expressing its dismay over the allegations levied against Spacey during his time at the theater.

“Inappropriate behavior by anyone working at the Old Vic is completely unacceptable,” the statement said.

“We aim to foster a safe and supportive environment without prejudice, harassment or bullying of any sort, at any level, as set out in our joint statement with the theater industry on October 23.

“We want our employees to feel confident, valued and proud to be part of the Old Vic family. Any behavior we become aware of which contravenes these goals will not be tolerated.”

In the statement, the theater urged anyone employed by or connected with the Old Vic with any type of complaint to get in touch with the theatre.

“Any experience shared will be treated in the utmost confidence and with sensitivity,” the statement reads.

“We have appointed external advisors to help us deal with any information received.”
