Ron Jeremy Committed to State Mental Hospital

Ron Jeremy Committed to State Mental Hospital

LOS ANGELES — Ron Jeremy has been committed to a state mental hospital after being found incompetent to stand trial, a Los Angeles District Attorney spokesperson reported today.

DA office spokesperson Greg Risling, who has not replied to XBIZ's questions after the judge’s decision last month, told Reuters that the next hearing on Jeremy's progress is scheduled for May 8, and that he can be held for up to two years.

Jeremy’s main attorney, Stuart Goldfarb, did not respond to Reuters’ request for comment.

As XBIZ reported, the judge presiding over his trial ruled on Jan. 17 that the former adult performer and media personality was “not competent” to be tried for the multiple counts of rape and sexual assault alleged against him.

Judge Robert S. Harrison considered two medical reports, by the defense and the prosecution, which agreed that Jeremy suffers from an “incurable neurocognitive decline” and cannot be tried for the alleged sex crimes.

Jeremy had been awaiting trial in Los Angeles, where he had remained in custody since his arrest in June 2020.

After an August 2021 grand jury indictment was returned, Jeremy pled not guilty to 12 counts of forcible rape, seven counts of forcible oral copulation, six counts of sexual battery by restraint, four counts of sexual penetration by a foreign object, two counts of sexual penetration of an unconscious or asleep person and one count each of lewd act upon a child under the age of 14 or 15, sodomy by use of force and assault with intent to commit rape.

In Nov. 2021, XBIZ published a detailed account of the 21 accusations that form the Los Angeles County district attorney's case against Jeremy. It remains the only comprehensive journalistic account of the testimonies given before the grand jury.
