Ron Jeremy Accused of Sexually Assaulting 15-year-old Girl Among 20 New Allegations

February 2024 · 3 minute read

Ron Jeremy, the adult film actor, has been charged with sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl, which is among the 20 new allegations that involved 13 women. Just two months ago, Jeremy was charged with raping three women, and he faces a possibility of 90 years in state prison. Now, he could face a maximum sentence of more than 250 years if convicted.

The 15-year-old girl, named Jane Doe No. 5 in court documents, attended a party during June 2004 in Santa Clarita, California, according to NBC News. Jeremy is accused of forcible penetration with a foreign object to the girl, of whom he's also accused of preying upon and committing lewd conduct.

The underage girl is the youngest among the women, whose ages range up to 54. The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office said the most recent accusation happened January 1 this year in Hollywood with a 21-year-old woman outside of a business. The complaint from that incident alleges that Jeremy forcibly raped and sodomized her.

There was another incident from May 2014, when Jeremy is accused of raping a 25-year-old woman at a home in West Hollywood.

From the charges announced Monday, they include the following accusations:

5 counts of forcible rape
6 counts of battery by restraint
3 counts of forcible oral copulation
2 counts of forcible penetration with a foreign object
1 count of sodomy
1 count of lewd conduct with a minor
1 count of assault with intent to rape
1 count of penetration by a foreign object to a sleeping, or unconscious, victim

Ronald Jeremy Hyatt is the legal name for the adult film star nicknamed "Hedgehog" because of his body hair, and who is now 67. In June, Jeremy pleaded not guilty to eight counts that varied from allegedly raping three women and sexually assaulting another. His bail in June was set at $6.6 million, and he remains in custody of the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles

Jeremy also pleaded not guilty Monday for the additional 20 charges against him in Los Angeles.

Among those charges brought up Monday were six assaults in a bar Jeremy often visited in West Hollywood. The DA's office said there was a seventh alleged assault in the parking lot outside that bar.

Jeremy has appeared in almost 2,000 adult films—which was a Guinness world record—and other movies that are remembered in a memoir called "The Hardest (Working) Man in Showbiz: Horny Women, Hollywood Nights & The Rise of the Hedgehog!"

His management company, Golden Artists Entertainment, dropped him as a client after the charges were announced earlier this summer.
