ANOTHER ACCUSATION ON SPACEY
Actor Harry Dreyfuss, son of the noted Hollywood actor Richard Dreyfuss, has alleged that actor Kevin Spacey groped him when he was 18 years old.
According to Harry’s account for Buzzfeed News, his father was working with Spacey on the play Complicit at the Old Vic, an independent theatre in London, and they had gone to Spacey’s apartment to run lines. “The first time I met him... he gave me such a warm smile, and instead of shaking my hand, he gave me a hug. Instantly, my young-manperpetually-seeking-fatherfigures heart melted. All I remember thinking was you’re so nice,” Harry wrote.
After some time, Harry ended up sitting next to Spacey on a couch while reading lines with his father. “After a few minutes, he put his hand on my thigh,” Harry wrote.
“...It just never occurred to me that Kevin would be interested in me... He was an adult man, a hero of mine, my dad’s boss, none of which were categories on my radar for sexual interactions. Besides, I thought, surely he can’t be coming on to me like this right in front of my dad. But his hand stayed there.”
Harry moved to the other side of the couch, but, “without missing a beat”, Spacey followed, and placed his hand back on Harry’s thigh. His father did not notice as he was too engrossed with his script.
Harry again moved to a different side of the couch, and placed both his hands on his own thighs. “Once again, Kevin followed me, sat down, and with considerable effort, slid his hand between my right hand and my right leg. 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,” he wrote. “Suddenly, he had completed his journey and now he had all of me in his hand. 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 meagre shake of my head that I could manage.”
He didn’t take more action because he wanted to protect his father’s career.
