Porn Star Ron Jeremy Charged with 20 More Counts of Alleged Sex Abuse Against Victims Ages 15 to 54
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – Ronald Jeremy Hyatt, a prominent figure in the adult film industry, is currently facing an additional 20 counts of sexual assault. These charges involve a total of 13 different females, with the youngest victim being a mere 15 years old. The alleged abuse is said to have taken place over a span of 16 years, as revealed by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
Earlier this summer, prosecutors initially charged Ron Jeremy with the forcible rape of three women, as well as the sexual assault of another individual in separate incidents that occurred in West Hollywood. However, shortly after these charges were made public, an astonishing 25 additional complaints against the porn star surfaced, prompting further investigation by the authorities, as reported by the Los Angeles Times.
On Monday, the criminal complaint was revised to include the 20 new charges against Hyatt. These charges consist of six counts of sexual battery by restraint, five counts of forcible rape, three counts of forcible oral copulation, two counts of forcible penetration by a foreign object, and one count each of sodomy, assault with intent to commit rape, penetration by a foreign object on an unconscious or sleeping victim, and lewd conduct with a 15-year-old girl.
These new charges are in addition to the previous ones he already faces, which include three counts of forcible rape, three counts of forcible penetration by a foreign object, one count of sexual battery, and one count of forcible oral copulation.
The allegations against Ron Jeremy date back to 2004, with the victims’ ages ranging from 15 to 54, according to the District Attorney’s Office. The teenage girl, who was allegedly sexually assaulted by Hyatt, claims the incident occurred at a party in Santa Clarita in June of 2004.
The most recent incident, which took place on New Year’s Day 2020, involves a 21-year-old woman who accuses Hyatt of sexually assaulting her outside a business establishment in Hollywood.
Remarkably, six of the alleged sexual assaults are said to have taken place at a popular West Hollywood bar that Hyatt frequented, while another incident is alleged to have occurred in the bar’s parking lot.
Hyatt is scheduled to appear in court for his arraignment on Monday, where he will face these charges. If convicted on all counts, he could potentially face a maximum sentence of at least 250 years to life in state prison.
The investigation into these cases is being conducted by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and the District Attorney’s Office’s Bureau of Investigation.
