Detectives were already investigating two similar complaints before that. There is also an active criminal investigation in Massachusetts involving a then 18-year-old male.
Police began probing the new claims in February when two men approached them to report two separate attacks, one in Gloucester in 2013, and another in Lambeth in 2008.
Another was added in April when one alleged went to police in April claiming Spacey, 58, assaulted him in Westminster in 1996.For several years the Hollywood star had long made the UK his home, as he served as the artistic director of the famed Old Vic theatre from 2004 to 2015.

Other then the official police probes, Los Angeles County prosecutors are looking into claims he carried out another assault in October 1992 in West Hollywood, and involved an adult male.
Former Boston news anchor Heather Unruh her son is the subject of the criminal investigation in Massachusetts after he allegedly grabbed her teenage son’s genitals at a Nantucket club in 2016.
Allegations against Spacey first surfaced in October, when actor Anthony Rapp claimed the actor made an unwanted sexual advance toward him when he was just 14.
It led to the star outing himself as being gay while offering Rapp his “sincerest apology” in a statement.
He also said he couldn’t remember the incident and said he must have been “deeply drunk”.
