Ron Jeremy Charged With 20 New Counts of Sexual Assault

Ron Jeremy on Monday was charged with 20 additional sexual assault counts, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. The new counts involve 13 women and date back to 2004.

The former adult film star, born Ron Jeremy Hyatt, is already in jail on previous sex crime charges. The new charges include 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, according to the district attorney’s office.

On Monday afternoon, he pleaded not guilty to the new counts.

The 67-year-old Hyatt was charged in June with three counts each of forcible rape and forcible penetration by a foreign object and one count each of forcible oral copulation and sexual battery. He previously pleaded not guilty.

If convicted as charged, Hyatt faces a possible maximum sentence of more than 250 years to life in state prison. He is due back in court on Oct. 28.
