Porn actor Ron Jeremy, who is accused in California of raping and sexually assaulting 21 victims, some of them minors, will be released from prison and moved to a “private residence” because he suffers from dementia, the Los Angeles Times reported.

According to an email from the Los Angeles prosecutor’s office, obtained by the American newspaper, the condition of the man, who starred in more than 1,700 pornographic films during his career, “has deteriorated to the point where he is practically bedridden.” .

As a result, the judge agreed to move him to a “mansion” where he would receive “round-the-clock medical care” after it was determined that “no medical facility would accept him.”

This dismissal on the grounds of health, against which the Prosecutor General spoke, practically nullifies the chances that the actor will be tried for the rapes he is accused of.

Dementia is a degenerative disease that worsens over time. In January, 70-year-old Ron Jeremy was already found mentally unfit to stand trial after a psychiatric examination.

Former porn star Ron Jeremy was accused of raping three women and sexually assaulting a fourth in June 2020. His arrest and appearance in a Los Angeles court sparked a new wave of complaints against him, and he has been in pretrial detention ever since.

The oldest accusations date back to 1996. In total, Ron Jeremy is accused of various acts of sexual violence against 21 women between the ages of 15 and 51. The actor has always denied the accusations against him.

He declared himself “completely innocent” and pleaded not guilty before the judge. In June 2020, his attorney, Stuart Goldfarb, denied all allegations against his client, insisting that he was “not a rapist.” “Ron, over the years and as a result of what he is, has been the partner of over 4,000 women (…) Women flock to him,” the lawyer said.
