Opening arguments in the actor's trial over sexual offences, which he denies, will start on Friday.

A jury has been sworn in ahead of the trial of Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey for alleged sex offences.

Wearing a navy suit, light blue shirt and pink tie, he smiled and waved as he walked into London's Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday.Before the jury panel was selected, Mr Justice Mark Wall told prospective jurors Mr Spacey would be "gratified to know that many of you will know his name or have seen his films", and said it would not preclude them from hearing the case.

Jurors are set to hear about allegations against Spacey from between 2001 and 2013, with the full charge sheet read in open court. The two-time Academy Award winner also previously denied four further charges of sexual assault and one count of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.
