More Charges Have Been Filed
Los Angeles County prosecutors filed a total of 20 more charges against porn legend Ron Jeremy yesterday including charges of groping and sexual assault against eleven women. Before Monday, Jeremy was facing eight counts of sexual assault stemming from allegations made by four women related to alleged incidents that took place in West Hollywood between 2014 and 2019.
After the initial charges were filed in June, fifty more women came forward in the state of California and throughout the United States, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The new allegations against Jeremy take place 2004 to 2020, prosecutors said to the news media, and include an allegation that Jeremy sexually assaulted a 15 year old teenage girl at a party in Santa Clarita, California. The most recent alleged incident took place on New Year's Day of this complete dumpster fire of a year when prosecutors say Jeremy assaulted a woman outside of a business in Hollywood.
This raises the total that Jeremy is alleged to have sexually assaulted to 15. Jeremy’s defense attorney, Stu Goldfarb, said his client pleaded not guilty to the new charges as he pled not guilty to the original charges back in June. Jeremy is due back in court in late October.
In the initial complaint filed back in June, Jeremy is described by he had constantly spent him time on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood and used his fame to gain access to women, whom he then would try to assault when he believed that they were drunk or otherwise incapacitated.
Consent? It's everything. Fuck, this is awful.
