Porn actor Ron Jeremy indicted on over 30 sex assault counts

By ANDREW DALTON
August 25, 2021

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A grand jury has indicted adult film actor Ron Jeremy on more than 30 counts of sexual assault involving 21 women and girls across more than two decades, authorities said.

Jeremy, 68, whose legal name is Ronald Jeremy Hyatt, pleaded not guilty in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday to all of the allegations, which include 12 counts of rape.

The indictment, which was returned Aug. 19 and unsealed Wednesday, covers allegations dating from 1996 to 2019 with victims aged 15 to 51. The counts appear to be identical to charges filed against Jeremy last year, which he also denied.

In a tactical move also employed in their case against Harvey Weinstein, LA County prosecutors used secret grand jury proceedings to get an indictment that replaces the original charges, allowing them to skip a public preliminary hearing on the evidence and proceed to trial.

I'm a little surprised to see him in an orange jumpsuit. I figured he would have had enough money to bail himself out. Maybe that's an old picture. Looks bad, though!

'I thought, ''it's Ron Jeremy'', I figured it would be fun. He said he had to pick something up from his apartment and I went with him. He asked me to stay in the lobby but he was gone a while and I needed the bathroom so called him and he came down to bring me up.

'I think he was a little embarrassed at me seeing the state of his apartment. I was so shocked, I couldn't open the front door, I didn't even use the bathroom because it was so bad and you couldn't get to it.

'In his bedroom there was just a queen size mattress on the floor that had no covers on it. That room was probably the most cleaned out.'

looking into that face while.....Oh hell, what a nightmare! Looks like the charges against him are true, not that I'm surprised.

That's probably normal behavior for him, at least in his movies. I think he likely has his persona in his movies confused with real life. He doesn't know how to behave around women unless they are there for sex. I think he's going to get some time to reflect on that.

It's not like he tried to hide it. He was in the porn movie business half his adult life.
