Adult film legend Ron Jeremy has dementia and will not be tried for sex crimes

Former porn star Ron Jeremy has been diagnosed with “severe dementia” and will be ruled ineligible to stand trial for rape, according to a Los Angeles County prosecutor in an email obtained by the Los Angeles Times.

Jeremy – whose legal name is Ronald Jeremy Hyatt – was charged in June 2020 with raping four women he met in bars and clubs in West Hollywood. But since the first allegations, the case has quickly escalated with dozens of women alleging that the former king of pornography had abused them for decades at adult film parties and conventions or on the sets of the same productions.

As a result, Jeremy was indicted on more than 30 sexual assault charges stemming from allegations made by 20 women. But weeks before the trial began last year, his defense attorney, Stuart Goldfarb, said his client had no idea what was going on and couldn’t recognize him.

Judge George Lomeli ordered a psychiatric evaluation. And the result was reported in the email obtained by the Los Angeles newspaper, in which prosecution and defense mental health experts concluded that Jeremy is not faking dementia. He is mentally disabled and has little chance of recovery.

“Following the expert’s agreement, the defendant will be deemed incapable of standing trial. His prognosis for improvement is not good,” Los Angeles County District Attorney Paul Thompson wrote in the email obtained by the newspaper. .

“If he doesn’t improve, we won’t be able to try him for his crimes. Since criminal cases are suspended if he is incompetent, we also can’t have him plead guilty or discuss other measures to bring justice to the victims in this case.”

Arrested since the first charges began in June 2020, for failing to pay the $6.6 million bail, Jeremy has even pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Now 69 years old, Jeremy has appeared in more than 1,700 adult films since 1970. With his distinctive moustache, he was one of the adult film industry’s most recognizable stars, even appearing in “serious films,” thanks to porn stardom state.

Most of her participation in Hollywood is due to extras. He even surpassed Stan Lee in this regard, appearing for seconds in cult films and even blockbusters, such as “School Panic” (2011), with Josh Hutcherson, “Adrenaline 2” (2009), with Jason Statham, “All Powerful ” (2003), with Jim Carrey, “Detroit, the City of Rock” (1999), with the band Kiss, “Studio 54” (1998), with Salma Hayek, “Tromeo & Juliet” (1996), written by James Gunn, “High Speed” (1994) with Charlie Sheen, “Partners in Crime” (1993) with Eric Stoltz and, believe it or not, “The Godfather III” (1990)!

“Ron, being who he is, has been in love with over 4,000 women over the years. To say he’s a rapist is going too far… I mean, women have thrown themselves at him,” she said. his lawyer at the beginning. of the case.
