A London jury found famous actor Kevin Spacey not guilty of nine counts of sexual assault against four men, Wednesday.
The four-week trial resulted in no convictions against Spacey, who flatly denied all allegations made against him by the four men, according to The Guardian. The actor insisted the men misrepresented intimate moments by describing them as assaults in an effort to obtain a financial payout. Spacey is already planning his return to Hollywood.

Spacey was acquitted on all charges, including the case of one male victim that alleged he awoke to Spacey performing oral sex on him. Another victim claimed Spacey assaulted him inside a vehicle.
The disgraced actor previously commented on his London case.
“In 10 years, it won’t mean anything,” he said, referencing the allegations, according to The Guardian.
“My work will live longer than I will, and that’s what will be remembered,” Spacey said in June, prior to the beginning of the sexual assault trial. (RELATED: Elton John Testifies In Kevin Spacey’s Assault Trial)
Spacey has spent several years living in the wilderness since abuse allegations were made against him. It is believed he will now seek to rebuild his career.
