Jeremy faces 34 charges of sexual harassment involving 21 different women, but his case was suspended in March after he was asked to undergo a psychiatric evaluation as he allegedly cannot recognize his own lawyer. The 69-year-old, whose real name is Ronald Jeremy Hyatt, has pleaded not guilty to all charges dating back to 1996. His alleged victims ranged in age from as young as 15 to 51, with the charges including 12 counts of rape. The adult content actor has been held at LA’s Twin Towers Correctional Facility on a $6.6 million bond since his arrest in June 2020. Speaking to The Independent, two of Jeremy’s alleged victims painted a picture of the porn star as psychopathic and ruthless. The comments follow Channel 4’s two-part documentary Porn King: The Rise and Fall of Ron Jeremy. Alana Evans, who is president of the Adult Performance Artists Guild, a US porn star union, told how she first met Jeremy in the late 1990s soon after she started working in the porn industry, adding that he had always to “feel special”. and would stop to say hello. Ms Evans, who previously made headlines for telling a story where she said Donald Trump and porn star Stormy Daniels invited her to the former US president’s hotel room in 2006, said she was compelled to work with Jeremy because he was model with contract. . The 46-year-old referred to Jeremy as a “real celebrity” as she recalled a moment she got out of a limo with him and around 100 people started “calling his name” as they wanted to meet him. He said it was “charming” and “exciting” to see a porn star of his level of fame. The adult actor added: “He was a fixture all over the place because he’s what people think of as this porn icon – this legend. He is notorious. It got to the point where every cool place I went, there’s Ron.” Ms Evans said she first saw a different side of Jeremy after working with him on a series called Not the Bradys XXX – recounting an incident where she claims she saw Jeremy lift the dress of one of their co-stars who was sleeping on the green room. . “He comes over to start lifting her dress,” she said. “I immediately woke her up and we left. If I hadn’t been there, I don’t know what Ron would have done with her, but I was watching what she was trying to do. This was the first time I’d seen Ron do anything other than grab someone’s chest at a convention. This girl was sleeping.” Ms Evans, who appeared in the Channel 4 documentary, said she ended up being friends with Jeremy because she felt she had “no choice” as he was everywhere and sexual misconduct was normalized in the porn industry. She also recalled an incident where Jeremy allegedly sexually assaulted her when she went to BPM magazine’s 12th anniversary party as his date on the red carpet in Los Angeles in 2008. “Ron and I are not there for a sex date,” Ms Evans said, explaining that three of her friends were also accompanying them. “I’m literally there to take pictures because he’s not going anywhere on his own.” She added: ‘It is on this night that I am now being sexually assaulted by Ron. Someone’s hand comes right behind me … and I’m shocked because I’m not used to this happening. “I turn right away… And I turn and it’s him. It’s Ron. I yell at him, I probably knocked him over me.” Ms Evans said she felt “ashamed and saddened” after the alleged incident happened in front of others, explaining that she never dated Jeremy again. “Ron is a sociopath,” she said. “Ron doesn’t understand what he’s doing to people, that he’s hurting them. Ron thinks it’s his right. Also, there’s this side of the porn industry and the fanaticism that created this version of Ron to the level we see. People encouraged the behavior. They thought it was okay. They allowed it.” Ms Evans said Jeremy acted as if everyday life was like a porn set as she claimed it was an open secret in the adult industry that he was predatory. “Ron’s not turning back,” she said. “Some of us go from Alana to Marie. I am going home. I have a family. I have children. That’s not Ron. Ron never goes out. Ron is always Ron. They treat him like that wherever he goes.” After the bombshell allegations surfaced in 2017, Jeremy would call her relentlessly to ask her to tell others the allegations against him were false — even asking her to speak to reporters, she said. “Ron was harassing the s*** out of me,” Ms Evans added. “He was calling me all the time. If you say to him, ‘Nah, Ron, you can’t come to a party,’ Ron will invite everyone he knows to try to get into that party.” Jeremy was still invited to some events after allegations emerged against him, he said, as he hit out at the normalization of sexual abuse in the porn industry, saying that over the years he has “accepted” the sexual misconduct because he felt no one would listen if she spoke. Jeremy is accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl in 2004, raping a 19-year-old girl at a photo shoot in 1996, as well as raping a 26-year-old girl at a club in 2003 and raping a 17-year-old girl at home in 2008. The adult actor, known by his nickname “The Hedgehog”, has appeared in hundreds of porn films since the 1970s, but was also well known in mainstream circles due to appearances in reality TV shows, films and music videos. Jeremy is accused of using his fame to systematically isolate the women he raped and sexually assaulted over the years — allegedly luring women into a restroom at the Rainbow Bar and Grill on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood where he was a regular. He is said to have tricked women into the bathroom by saying he would show them the kitchen where the restaurant’s famous pizzas were cooked, or by showing them a toilet they could use late at night when the public areas were closed. Several women have testified that Jeremy would enter the bathroom behind them, lock the door and then use his body to prevent them from exiting before raping or sexually assaulting them. Lianne Young, who is involved in the court case against Jeremy, echoed Ms Evans’ comments as she told the Independent about an incident where she claims Jeremy raped her at an industry party in front of others. “Suddenly I felt myself being pushed over the table…” said the 47-year-old, who moved to the US to work in the porn industry in her early 20s. “It was like five hours, but it was about five seconds. I managed to get him out. I turned around and slapped him in the face.” Ms Yang said she felt “hysterical” and “angry” but also “dazed” as she could hardly believe what had just happened. He added: “There was no soul in him. There was nothing. There was no expression, and then he just wandered into the crowd. It was almost as if a ghost had wandered back into the crowd.” Ms Young, who is now based in south-west London, said she was advised not to go to the police by colleagues as they claimed Jeremy had links to the police and she would not be believed as he worked in porn. She never saw Jeremy, whom she described as a “monster,” again after the alleged incident, she said. “It was almost like, this is Ron, this is what Ron does, and I’m like ‘this shouldn’t be what Ron does,’” added the former adult actor, who has advised the Metropolitan Police on sexual violence. . Ms Young, who now provides training on sex education, pornography and consent, said the alleged incident with Jeremy forced her to stop using porn. “He’s a sociopath and a psychopath,” he added. “He has no feelings and no guilt.” He said he does not believe Jeremy is fit to stand trial, but that he disagrees with the adjournment. Judge George Lomeli recently said the bailiff had referred to Jeremy as “incoherent” and “disobeying orders”. “I want justice, no doubt about it, and it absolutely tears me up that he’s been there for so long that he’s probably going to be in a mental hospital for the rest of his life,” Ms Young said. added. “This destroys me. However, I believe the man is so delusional that he thinks his crimes were acceptable because he was in porn.” You can find more information and advice for rape and sexual abuse victims at Rape Crisis or you can call the National Domestic Violence Helpline on 0808 2000 247
