Porn star Ron Jeremy facing new sexual assault allegations after being accused of ‘groping women without consent’
NOTORIOUS porn star Ron Jeremy is facing further sexual assault allegations, says the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office.
The prolific adult film star – who admits to being ” a little bit touchy-feely” – is under investigation after the office received multiple complaints.
However, no charges have been laid against the 67-year-old who started out his working life as a teacher before posing for Playgirl, and breaking into the adult entertainment industry.
Greg Risling, the DA’s public information office, told The Daily Beast: “Sexual assault allegations against Ron Jeremy are under review by our office.
“No filing decision has been made.”
Jeremy, whose real name is Ronald Jeremy Hyatt, has declined to comment on the latest allegations according to the website.
Dubbing himself as a “legend and super star” on Twitter, he is one of the world’s most prolific porn actors and is regarded as one of the adult film industry’s biggest name after making more than 2,200 movies.
Back in 2017, The Sun reported how had been accused of sexual assault in allegations which had resurfaced in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein sex assault probe.
These included claims that he had sexually assaulted women at adult industry expos.
The new investigation also comes two years after a model said she was suing Jeremy, claiming he sexually assaulted her while they were promoting an adult store event in Washington state.
In 2018, Kristin Brodie filed the lawsuit in King County Superior Court against the porn actor, after Tacoma city and Pierce County prosecutors decided against filing criminal changes.
The lawsuit claimed that the 22-year-old model was working for a Seattle radio station at a Tacoma sex shop promotional event in September 2017 when the 65-year-old Hyatt assaulted her four times.
Hyatt, a self-proclaimed “groper,” has also been accused by others in media reports of sexual assault.
His lawyer Stuart Goldfarb denied that he touched Brodie’s genitals and suggested that his appearances often include consensual touching.
The Daily Beast reported two years ago that a “rock girl” at a promotion event alleged that he groped and inappropriately touched her when she asked him to autograph her breast.
This followed other accusations of sexual harassment by several adult film stars and two fans, all of which Jeremy denied.
In a statement in 2018, after Tacoma City prosecutors said they weren’t pursuing the complaints, the porn actor said that “all serious allegations have been investigated by police and dismissed by judges.”
He added, “if you were going to be around Ron Jeremy, wouldn’t you assume that I’d be a little bit touchy-feely?

“Yes. This is what I do for a living.
“If anyone was ever made to feel uncomfortable by ANY of our interactions, I’m deeply sorry.”
In another allegation, porn star Janice Griffith told The Daily Beast that Jeremy “groped me when I was a teenager.”
She recently tweeted “he’s banned from almost all adult industry events for groping people without consent”.
