Ron Jeremy will be declared incompetent to stand trial for rape.
Ronald Jeremy Hyatt is reportedly suffering from “severe dementia” and will be declared unfit for trial, meaning he will be placed in a state-run hospital.
More than 20 women accused him of rape. Jeremy pleaded 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.
“If he does not improve, we will not be able to try him for his crimes. Because criminal proceedings are suspended as long as he is incompetent, we also cannot get a guilty plea from him or discuss other measures to get justice for the victims in this case,” L.A. County Deputy District Attorney Paul Thompson wrote in a letter obtained by the L.A. Times.
