Ron Jeremy charged with multiple counts of rape, sexual assault
Porn star Ron Jeremy has been criminally charged in a series of sex attacks, which he allegedly committed on women he met in the Hollywood area over the past six years, the Los Angeles County district attorney announced Tuesday.
The 63-year-old smut film legend was scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday afternoon in Los Angeles County Superior Court on three counts each of forcible rape and forcible penetration by a foreign object, and one count each of forcible oral copulation and sexual battery, officials said.
The counts against Jeremy, whose real name is Ronald Jeremy Hyatt, include the alleged rape of a 30-year-old woman at a West Hollywood bar in July 2019, according to the Los Angeles DA’s Office.
Two years earlier, Jeremy allegedly sexually assaulted two women, ages 33 and 46, at the same bar, court papers charge.
In May 2014, he allegedly raped a 25-year-old woman at a home in West Hollywood, officials said.
Jeremy has been dogged by sexual misconduct allegations, with more than a dozen women having publicly accused him of sexual assault. The Los Angeles DA previously said the office was investigating the allegations.
In 2018, Kristin Brodie, then 22, sued Jeremy in Washington state for allegedly sexually assaulting her during an event at a Tacoma sex shop the previous year, People magazine reported.
Brodie, who was working at the event as a promotional model for a Seattle radio station, said in the lawsuit that Jeremy groped her breast and buttocks then “forcefully” digitally penetrated her, according to the magazine.
The young woman sued Jeremy after local authorities declined to file criminal charges against him for the alleged assaults, the report said.
At the time, Jeremy’s lawyer said his client denied the allegations.
Prosecutors are expected to recommend bail of $6.6 million. If convicted, Jeremy, who stands 5 feet 6 and whose net worth is reportedly about $6 million, faces a possible maximum sentence of 90 years to life in prison.
