A Los Angeles judge declared that porn performer Ron Jeremy is mentally incompetent to stand trial on dozens of rape and sexual assault counts, as his defense argued that he is in “incurable neurocognitive decline' from which he is unlikely to recover
A hearing on placing the 69-year-old Jeremy, whose legal name is Ronald Hyatt, in a state hospital will be held next month.
“When he was arrested two years ago I said he would be found innocent of all charges,” Jeremy's attorney Stuart Goldfarb said in an email. “Two years have passed and with the additional discovery I received I believed he would have have been found innocent. It is unfortunate due to mental condition he will not go to trial and have the the opportunity to clear his name."An email seeking comment Tuesday from the District Attorney's Office was not immediately returned.
He has long been a magnet for seekers of autographs and selfies, which is how he first encountered most of the women and girls aged 15 to 51 he is accused of assaulting between the 1990s and 2019.
