Adult film legend Ron Jeremy is suffering from "severe dementia" and will be declared incompetent to stand trial on multiple charges of rape later this month, according to an e-mail obtained by The Times.
Jeremy whose legal name is Ronald Hyatt was first charged in June 2020 with raping four women he met in West Hollywood bars and clubs. The case against Jeremy quickly ballooned, as dozens of women came forward claiming the one-time porn king had been abusing women for decades at parties, adult film conventions or on movie sets.
Jeremy, 69, was later indicted on more than 30 counts of sexual assault stemming from allegations made by 20 women, with some of his alleged crimes dating back to the 1990s. But weeks before Jeremy's trial was slated to begin last year, his defense attorney, Stuart Goldfarb, walked into a Los Angeles courtroom and said his client did not recognize him.
In an e-mail obtained by The Times this week, L.A. County Deputy Dist. Atty. Paul Thompson said mental health experts called on by both prosecutors and Jeremy's defense team have determined he suffers from severe dementia and there is no evidence he is faking his symptoms.
