Ron Jeremy Charged With Eight Counts Of Sexual Assault Including Rape

Adult film star Ron Jeremy has been charged with sexually assaulting four women in incidents that date back to 2014.

Jeremy has been charged with eight counts that include forcible rape, forcible penetration, and forcible oral copulation by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office.

The 67-year-old porn star has previously denied all allegations of improper conduct against him.

If he is found guilty, he could be looking at up to 90 years in prison, according to prosecutors.

Jeremy stands accused of assaulting three women at a bar in West Hollywood on separate occasions between the years of 2017 and 2019, as well as raping a 25-year-old woman at a property in West Hollywood in May 2014.

The prosecutors are attempting to have his bail set at $6.6 million (£5.3m).

The adult performer, filmmaker and comedian has been charged with three charges of forcible penetration with a foreign object, three counts of forcible rape, one count of forcible oral copulation and one count of sexual battery.

The victims have only been identified - in accordance with their rights to anonymity - as Jane Does one, two, three, and four.

Jeremy has previously spoken out in denial of sexual assault allegations that have been made against him.

In November 2017, he made a statement to Rolling Stone in which he said: "These allegations are pure lies or buyers' remorse.

"I have never and would never rape anyone. All serious allegations have been investigated by police and dismissed by judges, as have most of the accusations of 'groping.'

"I have never been charged nor spent one day in court for any of this."

He has now been charged and will spend time in court, where he will be tried under his real name, Ronald Jeremy Hyatt.

The prosecutors behind the case against Jeremy declined to charge him in relation to a fifth incident in 2016 as a result of insufficient evidence to support the claim.

The case against Jeremy is being handled by the same attorney - Deputy District Attorney Paul Thompson - who is leading the case against disgraced Hollywood film mogul Harvey Weinstein.
