Oscar winner Dustin Lance Black (48) is on trial in London for assault. The trial of the US screenwriter (“Milk”) is set to begin on August 8, a bailiff in London said, according to the PA news agency.
Black pleaded not guilty at a hearing on Thursday and was released unconditionally. He is accused of hitting a British LGBT activist during an altercation at a London club in August 2022. LGBT is the English abbreviation for lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans.
The Oscar winner has been married to the British high-diving Olympic champion Tom Daley (28) since 2017, and the couple have two sons.
