Scotland Yard has opened another investigation of Kevin Spacey.

London police confirmed toThe Hollywood Reporter that the complaint was filed Friday, just a day after the Old Vic theater revealed it had received 20 accusations of sexual misconduct regarding the Usual Suspects actor.

"Officers from the Child Abuse and Sexual Offences Command are investigating," Scotland Yard said to THR.

The name of the accuser is presently unknown -- he is identified only as Victim 2. But the allegation is dated back to 2005 in Lambeth, the borough of London where the theater is located.

Spacey worked as the Old Vic's artistic director from 2004 to 2014. And the theater, which has been fielding complaints from past employees and actors, advised the more serious reports to contact the authorities.

Kate Varah, the Old Vic's executive director, issued an apology on November 16 to the alleged victims.

"The Old Vic apologizes wholeheartedly to the people who told us that they have been affected," said Varah. "We've learned that it is not enough to have the right process in place. Everyone needs to feel able to speak out, no matter who they are."

Star Trek: Discovery actor Anthony Rapp was the first to come forward with allegations against Spacey, saying the older actor tried to "seduce" him when he was 14.

Rapp's account sparked a string of accusers to come forward. One of them, actor Roberto Cavazos, said he had to reject two "unpleasant" advances that "bordered on harassment" while Spacey worked at the Old Vic.

Cavazos claimed he wasn't the only target by Spacey, who he said "routinely preyed" on other young male actors in a Facebook post. "It seems the only requirement was to be a male under the age of 30 for Mr. Spacey to feel free to touch us," Cavazos stated. "There are a lot of us who have a 'Kevin Spacey story.'"

This is the second Spacey allegation being investigated by Scotland Yard. The first, submitted by Victim 1 earlier this month, was dated in 2008.
