Woman charges grope by Feldman

- Rachel DeSantis

COREY FELDMAN, the former child star who launched a crusade against a supposed pedophilia ring lurking in Hollywood, is under investigat­ion for sexual battery.

Feldman, 46, was named as the suspect in a police report filed in Los Angeles earlier this week accusing him of sexual battery, said Mike Lopez, a Los Angeles Police Department spokesman.

The report was filed by a woman who said the actor grabbed her buttocks in early 2017, according to TMZ.

“(Corey) vehemently denies these egregious claims,” a rep for the actor told the gossip site.

The “Stand By Me” star has long been a vocal advocate against sexual harassment and abuse, and has maintained for many years that he and late friend Corey Haim were victims of a “pedophilia ring” as child stars in the ’80s.

Feldman filed a report with the LAPD, but his case did not move forward because the statute of limitation­s had expired.
