Adult film star Ron Jeremy has been indicted on more than 30 counts of sexual assault. The charges involve 21 victims and date back more than two decades.
According to the Los Angeles District Attorney’s press release, Jeremy – whose actual name is Ron Jeremy Hyatt - pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to 12 counts of forcible rape, seven counts of forcible oral copulation, six counts of sexual battery by restraint, four counts of sexual penetration by a foreign object, two counts of sexual penetration of an unconscious or asleep person, and one count each of lewd act upon a child under the age of 14 or 15, sodomy by use of force and assault with intent to commit rape.
The indictment was returned by the grand jury on August 19 but was not unsealed until today.
“Far too often, survivors of sexual assault suffer in isolation,” District Attorney George Gascón said in the press release. “We must ensure that survivors have all options available to help with recovery, including trauma-informed services for healing and support to report such crimes.”
RadarOnline.com also learned Jeremy is accused of sexually assaulting more than 20 women over a 23-year period dating as far back as 1996. The victims' ages range from 15 to 51.
One alleged incident occurred in October of 1996 when the famed porn star reportedly raped a 19-year-old woman during a photo shoot in the San Fernando Valley.
Years later, a 26-year-old woman claims she was allegedly raped by Jeremy at a nightclub. Sometime between 2002 and 2003, he is also accused of sexually assaulting a young woman at a strip club in the City of Industry, California.
Perhaps the most shocking and damning of the allegations against the porn industry legend include allegedly sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl in June of 2004.
Jeremy is also being accused of raping a 17-year-old girl in 2008 at a home in Woodland Hills, CA.
