The actor is still in prison – Ron Jeremy has been in prison since June 2020. He faces 34 sexual assault allegations, including 12 rapes, committed on 21 women over 20 years, and faces 90 years in prison. The actor is still behind bars, but following this verdict (the new hearing is set for next month), he will definitely be hospitalized.
violence against girls – Ron Jeremy has been one of the most recognizable stars of red light movies for decades. Nicknamed the “hedgehog,” according to prosecutors, he used his position — in an industry where, as one of them put it, “we’re all whores” — to assault or rape women with impunity. West Hollywood venues such as the Roxy were the scene of his attacks, most recently on a 21-year-old girl.
Jeremy like Weinstein and Guillod – The former porn star is the third man, after Weinstein and producer David Guillod, to be caught in the web of a 2017 task force investigating sexual harassment in the entertainment world. Like Weinstein and Guillod, Jeremy has always denied ever having had non-consensual relationships with his prey: “Each of us – said one of the alleged victims – has a story to tell about Ron.”
Over two thousand red light films – “Hedgehog” has been in over two thousand red-light films, a record only equaled by John Holmes, the porn legend who died of AIDS in 1988 at the age of 44. Rarely the forays outside of “adult” cinema: in 1986 he was “Special Consultant” for “Nine and a Half Weeks”, ten years later for PT Anderson’s “Boogie Nights”. He had a small cameo role in “The Chase” and had a cameo appearance in “Ghostbuster”.
