Charges dropped

In October 2022, Police confirmed the arrest of the unsuccessful candidate for the Southern Highlands Regional Seat, Peter Nupiri with charges over allegations of election related crimes.

Nupiri from Olea village, Mendi, Southern Highlands was said to have communicated with individuals to destroy about 200 ballot boxes that were stored at the police station in Mendi.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office said the alleged incident was outside California's statute of limitations.

Officials confirmed in April that an allegation involving Mr Spacey and an incident with a man in West Hollywood in 1992 was being investigated.

Another case concerning an alleged incident in 2016 remains under review.

A number of allegations of sexual misconduct have been made against the Oscar-winning actor since last November, when he was accused by actor Anthony Rapp of making a sexual advance in 1986.
