The U.K.'s Crown Prosecution Service spent over a year reviewing a file that was sent to them by the Metropolitan Police, which alleged that Kevin Spacey forced "a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent." He was charged with four counts of sexual assault. Soon after, he was fired from the popular show "House of Cards," where he played protagonist Frank Underwood.
