Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey has told a jury the sexual assault allegations against him are either “madness”, “make no logical sense”, or are a “stab in the back”.

The Hollywood star began giving evidence from the witness box at Southwark Crown Court on Thursday, where he said he was “not on a suicide mission” after being accused of “aggressive” crotch grabs.
