Actor Kevin Spacey is currently on trial in the United Kingdom. He faces multiple allegations of sexually assaulting various men by using his position of power in Hollywood.
Spacey denies these allegations, but there was enough evidence in London for him to face trial.
To counter these allegations, Spacey’s legal team enlisted the help of famous singer Elton John, according to the Gateway Pundit.

Elton John provided a formal testimony virtually from Monoco to the court in London. He argued that Spacey’s specific whereabouts on one occasion disproved an accuser’s groping allegations.
While John’s testimony is significant, its total impact is yet to be determined.

David Furnish, Elton John’s husband, also testified on Spacey’s behalf before the English court. Furnish vouched for Spacey’s character, describing him as engaging and good.
Spacey’s lawyers are hoping that the star power of John and Furnish will help acquit their client.
Not Everyone Believes It
Despite the testimonies from Elton John and David Furnish, many people believe that the accusations against Spacey hold merit.
After all, Spacey has previously spent time with sexual predator and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, even traveling with him abroad via private jet.

Spacey’s accusers argue that he felt untouchable because of his power in the entertainment business. As the trial proceeds, the outcome remains uncertain.
While Spacey has expressed a desire for a career revival, it will depend on whether the court sides with him or his accusers.
