Kevin Spacey attorneys set for pretrial hearing in 'House of Cards' star's sex assault case

Lawyers for Kevin Spacey will attend a pretrial hearing in the former "House of Cards" star's sexual assault case on Monday.

Spacey, 59, will not need to attend the Nantucket District Court hearing, but must be available by phone, a judge said.

Spacey is accused of sexually assaulting the then-18-year-old son of former Boston TV anchor Heather Unruh on the resort island of Nantucket in 2016.
