Dreyfuss’ kid: Spacey groped me

- BY RICH SCHAPIRO

RICHARD DREYFUSS’ son came forward Saturday to detail a shocking account of Kevin Spacey groping him while his unsuspecti­ng father sat nearby.

Harry Dreyfuss, in penning his story in Buzzfeed News, became the latest of more than 10 men to accuse Spacey of sexual assault.

The younger Dreyfuss said he was just 18 when he accompanie­d his father to Spacey’s London apartment in 2008 to rehearse lines for the play “Complicit.”

The trio had been reading the script for some time when Spacey put his hand on Harry’s thigh.

“I thought, surely he can’t be coming on to me like this right in front of my dad,” Harry wrote. “But his hand stayed there.”

Harry twice moved away from Spacey, but the lecherous actor followed him each time, according to the Buzzfeed piece.

“Once again Kevin followed me, sat down, and with considerab­le effort, slid his hand between my right hand and my right leg,” Harry wrote.

“Over the course of about 20 seconds, centimeter by centimeter, Kevin crawled his hand from my thigh over toward my crotch. My mind went blank. Suddenly, he had completed his journey...

“I stopped reading the script and my eyes went wide. I lifted up my head and faced him. Looking into his eyes, I gave the most meager shake of my head that I could manage.”

The elder Dreyfuss was too engrossed in the script to notice, Harry said. But Richard Dreyfuss praised his son Saturday. “I love my son @harrydreyf­uss more than I could explain with all the words in the world,” Richard Dreyfuss said in a tweet. Amid the cascading tales of abuse, Netflix announced Friday it was severing ties with Spacey (photo inset) and shutting down production of “House of Cards.”
