==Sexual assault charges and allegations==
More than a dozen women have publicly accused Jeremy of sexual assault.<ref>[https://www.thedailybeast.com/ron-jeremy-rape-accuser-jennifer-steele-mondello-comes-forward-says-i-wondered-if-he-planned-to-kill-me Ron Jeremy Rape Accuser Comes Forward: ‘I Wondered if He Planned to Kill Me’], ''The Daily Beast''</ref> Several of the allegations relate to his appearances at fan conventions, alleging that he would grope and insert his fingers into attendees without their consent. The organizers of the Exxxotica national adult conventions permanently banned Jeremy from their shows in October 2017 after a social media campaign by webcam model Ginger Banks. The Free Speech Coalition, an industry trade group, rescinded its Positive Image Award that it had originally presented to him in 2009 due to the allegations.

In June 2020, Jeremy was charged with four counts of rape and sexual assault by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. Jeremy was accused of forcibly raping a 25-year-old woman at a home in West Hollywood in May 2014. He also allegedly sexually assaulted two women, ages 33 and 46, on separate occasions at a West Hollywood bar in 2017, and is accused of forcibly raping a 30-year-old woman at the same bar in July 2019.<ref>[https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/ron-jeremy-sexual-assault-grand-jury-1220497/ ‘I Was Just Shocked and Frozen’: Alleged Sexual Assault Victims Reveal Chilling Details About Ron Jeremy], ''Rolling Stone''</ref>

Owner of Golden Artists Entertainment, Dante Rusciolelli, announced they were dropping Jeremy as a client following the charges. On June 27, Jeremy pleaded not guilty to all charges. Jeremy posted his response to the charges on Twitter saying: "I am innocent of all charges. I can’t wait to prove my innocence in court! Thank you to everyone for all the support."

Three days after Jeremy was initially charged, prosecutors said they had received an additional 25 allegations of misconduct involving Jeremy, 13 of which had occurred in L.A. County. Since then, six additional women who worked in the adult entertainment industry came forward claiming that Jeremy had raped or abused them. In July 2020, a law enforcement official confirmed that the L.A. County Sheriff's Department had received 30 new allegations of forcible rape and groping against Jeremy involving incidents that took place in L.A. County since 2000.

On August 31, 2020, Los Angeles prosecutors filed 20 more counts that included charges of rape, sexual assault, sodomy, and forcible penetration by a foreign object against Jeremy that involved 12 different women with ages ranging from 15 to 54 years old and that spanned over 16 years from 2004-2020. A 15-year-old girl, alleges that she was sexually assaulted by Jeremy at a party in Santa Clarita. The most recent incident is said to have occurred on January 1, 2020, when a 21-year-old woman alleged she was sexually assaulted outside of a business in Hollywood, CA. Six other women alleged sexual assaults happened inside a West Hollywood bar the defendant frequented and another in the bar’s parking lot. The combined 24 counts could bring sentences of more than 250 years. Jeremy, who originally had bail set at $6.6 million when first charged in June, is in custody at Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles.

On August 25, 2021, he was indicted on a total of 30 sexual assault counts involving 21 victims. His trial was scheduled for May 2022 but was suspended after Jeremy became "totally incoherent" and failed to recognize his lawyer. In January 2023 it was announced that Jeremy had been diagnosed with dementia and declared mentally unfit for trial. He is to be transferred to a state-run mental hospital.<ref>[https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64313546 Ron Jeremy: US porn star declared unfit for sex crimes trial], ''BBC News''</ref>
