Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey was found not guilty in Britain Wednesday of nine alleged sex offences against men, which follows the Oscar winner’s being cleared in a US case.

奧斯卡獎得主、好萊塢演員凱文‧史貝西繼美國的一樁控罪獲洗清罪嫌後，他在英國被控犯下9項對男人的性犯罪，週三獲判無罪。

The star of drama series "House of Cards", who turned 64 on Wednesday, was acquitted by majority verdicts in London following a trial that lasted several weeks.

經過持續數週的審理後，這名主演影集「紙牌屋」的明星週三過64歲生日當天，在倫敦獲得陪審團多數判決無罪。

"I’m enormously grateful to the jury for having taken the time to examine all of the evidence and all of the facts carefully before they reached their decision and I am humbled by the outcome today," he told reporters outside court.

「我對陪審團花時間仔細檢視所有證據和所有事實，然後做出他們的判決，感到無比感激，今天的審判結果使我感到謙卑」，他在法院外向記者說。
