LONDON (Reuters) - Kevin Spacey's accusers are credible and their allegations deserve to be heard with respect, prosecutors told jurors on Wednesday as the actor's sexual assault trial draws to a close.

Spacey, 63, is standing trial at London's Southwark Crown Court on nine charges of sexual offences against four men between 2001 and 2013 in Britain, where he worked from 2003 as artistic director of London's Old Vic theatre.
