Former porn star Ron Jeremy’s sex crimes trial paused for psychiatric evaluation
Global News
Ron Jeremy's lawyer told the judge his client appeared confused and was not able to follow orders.
Former porn star Ron Jeremy will not face further court proceedings until he’s undergone a full mental health evaluation.
Jeremy, who’s been accused of multiple sex crimes, was too incoherent to participate in a key hearing at a Los Angeles court Thursday, reports USA Today.
Stuart Goldfarb, Jeremy’s lawyer, told Judge George Lomeli that his client appeared confused and did not recognize him when they met in the holding cell before the hearing.
“I was just up in the cell where he was being kept, and I tried to get his attention unsuccessfully,” Goldfarb told the judge, according to Rolling Stone.
“He was unable to determine who I was and wouldn’t accommodate both myself and the bailiff to fit into the wheelchair to come down here. I don’t think he should be forced to come down here under these circumstances.”
Jeremy, 69, who has appeared in more than 1,700 X-rated films since the 1970s, has been the subject of criminal allegations within the adult industry for years.
Last August, a grand jury indicted Jeremy on more than 30 counts of sexual assault involving 21 women and girls across more than two decades.
He has pleaded not guilty to all of the allegations, which include 12 counts of rape.
