Kevin Spacey was pulled over for speeding as he left an airport in near Washington on Monday night, hours after appearing in court in Massachusetts on criminal charges relating to groping.
Earlier in the day, at a minutes-long arraignment on the ritzy Massachusetts island of Nantucket, Spacey turned up for his court hearing but did not appear to utter a word.
If convicted, Spacey will face a maximum of five years in prison and registration as a sex offender.
Judge Thomas S Barrett said Spacey would not have to appear then, but must be available by phone.
