Prosecutors from the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office have accused adult film star Ron Jeremy, 67, of sexually assaulting four women since 2014. Jeremy has been charged with three counts of forcible rape and forcible penetration by a foreign object and one count each of forcible oral copulation and sexual battery.
Investigators say that Jeremy assaulted a 25-year-old woman in a West Hollywood home in 2014. He is also accused of raping three women at a bar in West Hollywood. Two of the attacks happened in 2017, while the most recent one allegedly occurred in July 2019.
Prosecutors said they investigated claims of another incident in 2016, but decided not to pursue those charges due to lack of evidence.
If convicted, Jeremy faces up to 90 years in prison.
This is not the first time Jeremy has faced allegations of sexual assault. A 2017 article in Rolling Stone detailed the accounts of more than a dozen women who claimed Jeremy had sexually assaulted him over the past thirty years. Jeremy has since denied those claims.
