American porn actor Ron Jeremy faces more accusations of rape and sexual assault. As early as June and August, the Los Angeles prosecutor had filed complaints against 17 women. Now the charges against Jeremy have been expanded in seven additional cases, the agency announced Wednesday.
The new complaints, including three cases of rape, span a 17-year period, and six other women between the ages of 17 and 38 are said to be affected. Jeremy, 67, has pleaded “not guilty” and is due to appear for a preliminary hearing on December 14.
A 15-year-old girl is among the 23 alleged victims. The assaults, including rapes and sexual assaults, are said to have occurred in clubs, hotels, private homes and in photo shoots between 1996 and 2020. According to the prosecutor, if convicted, all charges face more than 330 years in prison.
Jeremy, whose real name is Ronald Jeremy Hyatt, is one of the iconic figures in the porn industry. He has starred in more than a thousand films. In 2007 he published an autobiography entitled “A man and four thousand women.” In it he describes himself as obsessed with sex.
He has been accused of sexual violence for several years, including by colleagues in the sex film industry. He also always denied these accusations.
The wave of accusations of violence and battery against celebrities in the entertainment industry began with the fall of Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein. The discovery of the allegations against Weinstein sparked the global #MeToo movement against sexual violence against women in fall 2017.
