Trial for Ron Jeremy expected to begin in February, Tuesday hearing interrupted by ‘friend’

The trial for adult films star Ron Jeremy is slated to begin in February, according to the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office and Jeremy’s attorney.

Jeremy, 68, has been in jail since June 2020 and has been charged with multiple counts of rape.

During a Tuesday hearing, Jeremy was wheeled into the courtroom appearing before Judge George Lomeli in a prison jumpsuit and with his hands cuffed. He did not speak during the hearing, only responding “yes” when asked if he understood that his trial would start in February.

Following a grand jury indictment on Aug. 25, Jeremy, whose real name is Ronald Jeremy Hyatt, pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of sexual assault, including a dozen counts of rape.

During the hearing, a woman sitting in the courtroom gallery interrupted the proceedings when she stood up and said to the judge that Jeremy’s treatment in jail was “inhumane” and accused his defense attorney of delaying his legal proceedings.

According to Jeremy’s attorney, Stuart Goldfarb, the woman who claimed to be a friend of his client’s for a decade had done the same act in a prior hearing. He did add that Jeremy said that he knows the woman.

“This poor woman, she attacked the district attorney, she attacked me, and last summer in court, she screamed out in court, ‘Ron I love you!’ She’s challenged,” Goldfarb said to USA Today. “The judge is not going to allow her to do that again — she won’t be allowed in court.”

Jeremy is still in jail with a bond set a $6.6 million. He is accused of using his fame to meet and manipulate women who he would go on to sexually assault and rape.

His next hearing is scheduled for Dec. 1.
