LOS ANGELES, Jan 7 — Porn star Ron Jeremy has “severe dementia” and will be declared unfit to stand trial for rape, a US newspaper reported yesterday.
“As a result of the agreement of the experts, the defendant will be declared incompetent to stand trial... his prognosis for improvement is not good,” Los Angeles County deputy district attorney Paul Thompson wrote in the email, the paper said. Jeremy was initially charged in January 2020, and prosecutors subsequently added a battery of other sex-related complaints against him, alleging criminality over several decades of his prolific career.Judge George Lomeli ordered a psychiatric assessment after one of Jeremy’s attorneys, Stuart Goldfarb, said he had visited his client in a holding cell before the hearing.
But he has long been dogged by assault claims and has been barred from industry events in recent years.
How forgetful!
