Adult film star Ron Jeremy charged with rape, sexual assault
Source: ABC News
LOS ANGELES -- Adult film star Ron Jeremy was charged with raping three women and sexually assaulting a fourth, Los Angeles County prosecutors said Tuesday.
The counts make the 67-year-old Jeremy the third man to be charged, along with Harvey Weinstein and producer David Guillod, by a task force formed by District Attorney Jackie Lacey in 2017 to investigate sexual misconduct in the entertainment industry.
Jeremy, nicknamed The Hedgehog, is among the best known and most prolific actors in the history of the adult film industry, with thousands of credits to his name.
Jeremy, whose real name is Ron Jeremy Hyatt, is scheduled to be arraigned later Tuesday. He was charged 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. If convicted of all the counts he could face 90 years in prison.

If he's guilty I hope they throw the book at him.

He was big in the 70s as a porn star but moved into acting a while back. He's famous for being famous, I guess.

(16,844 posts)make up for such a profound amount of ugliness. He was never what one would call attractive, not even when he was young. I guess he made the men less intimidated and aided their fantasy that they could also pick up those women without a pocketful of cash.

(7,527 posts)I know that's a really stereotypical heterosexual view that doesn't take into account that women also enjoy pornography, but we've come a long way.
From stories I've read, men were rarely the "stars" of heterosexual porn, though Jeremy and several others were exceptions.
Also, Ron Jeremy was always kind of a schlub, but much less so when he was younger.

Why on earth would he need to sexually assault someone? You would think by now he's to tired to even "get it up".

(6,390 posts)He could literally call up any porn star or two...or twenty and "satisfied himself". Add to that, got someone to film it and make some money when it hit the porn sites.
But no, wanted a specific person. You are probably right, he got to the point of thinking he could get whatever he wanted. Just sick.
And then I look at Trump and his past interesting comments. Some people really are stains on humanity.

Lock him up.
Fair trial and prison time if he is guilty.
Geez, not once, but 4 times. They keep doing it because they get away with it.
