LOS ANGELES
A criminal complaint was amended Monday against Ron Jeremy charging him with 20 additional sexual assault counts involving 13 women that date back to 2004, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced.
The complaint against Ron Jeremy Hyatt, 66, includes 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.
The defendant 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.
If convicted as charged, the defendant faces up to 250 years to life in state prison.
Jeremy is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
Deputy District Attorneys Paul Thompson and Marlene Martinez are prosecuting the case.
The new charges span a 16-year period and the victims ages range from 15 to 54. In June 2004, a 15-year-old girl attended a party in Santa Clarita where the defendant allegedly sexually assaulted her.
The most recent incident occurred on Jan. 1, 2020, when Hyatt is accused of sexually assaulting a 21-year-old woman outside a business in Hollywood.
Additionally, six other alleged sexual assaults happened inside a West Hollywood bar the defendant frequented and another in the bar’s parking lot.
