New allegations of sexual harassment and predatory behaviour towards men and women by Kevin Spacey have emerged.

The claims, spanning from the mid‑1980s to 2016, raise further questions about the US actor's conduct in the decades he worked in Hollywood and as artistic director at London's Old Vic theatre.

The BBC has contacted Spacey for comment.

Former television news anchor Heather Unruh told a press conference in Boston that her son had been sexually assaulted by Spacey, at the age of 18 in a bar in Massachusetts, in July 2016.

She said Spacey had bought her son alcohol ‑ the drinking age in Massachusetts is 21.

After getting him drunk, Spacey had "stuck his hand inside my son's pants and grabbed his genitals".

She said Spacey had invited her son to a party, but he had run away from the bar.

A criminal investigation was now underway.
