Actor Kevin Spacey has appeared in court to face a charge of indecent assault and battery stemming from an allegation of groping in 2016.

A not‑guilty plea was entered on the two‑time Oscar winner's behalf by his lawyers during the hearing in the US state of Massachusetts.

He is accused of sexually assaulting an 18‑year‑old male after plying him with alcohol at a bar in Nantucket in 2016.

Assault claims against him have also surfaced in London and Los Angeles.

He was released without having to pay bail by the judge after a 10‑minute hearing.
