Grope case vs. Spacey is dropped

The witness clammed up, so Kevin Spacey is in the clear.

The criminal charges against the actor, accused of groping an 18-year-old man at a Nantucket, Mass., bar in 2016, have been dropped, prosecutors announced Wednesday.

The Cape and Islands district attorney said in a filing obtained by the Daily News that the case had been dropped “due to the unavailability of the complaining witness.”

Spacey’s accuser, who claimed the actor had gotten him drunk and groped him, invoked the Fifth Amendment earlier this month in court and refused to testify. The man, who has not been publicly identified, said he was unable to provide the iPhone that he claimed had video of the alleged assault.

The man who accused Spacey (inset) worked at the bar. He previously told investigators that Spacey had bought him multiple drinks that night and had fondled his genitals for about three minutes. He claimed he sent his then-girlfriend a Snapchat video of Spacey groping him, but was unable to provide the video and said the phone was missing.

His mother, Heather Unruh, testified in court that she had deleted photos and videos from the phone before turning it over to police.

Spacey pleaded not guilty to charges of indecent assault and battery filed in January.

“My client and his family have shown an enormous amount of courage under difficult circumstances,” the accuser’s attorney said in a statement to The News Wednesday.

Spacey has faced multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, first by “Rent” alum Anthony Rapp, who accused the actor of making sexual advances towards him at a party in 1986 when he was 14 and Spacey was 26. No other charges have been filed against him.

He was subsequently dropped from both the final season of “House of Cards” and the J. Paul Getty movie “All the Money in the World.”
