Ron Jeremy will reportedly be declared incompetent to stand trial for more than 30 counts of rape.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the retired adult film star, 69, whose legal name is Ronald Jeremy Hyatt, is suffering from "severe dementia" and will be declared unfit for trial on Jan. 17 and likely be placed in a state-run hospital, following allegations from at least 20 women since June 2020.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office and an attorney for Hyatt did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.
In an email obtained by The Times, L.A. County Deputy District Attorney Paul Thompson said that mental health experts enlisted by both the prosecutors and Hyatt's legal team determined his condition, of which there was no evidence he was faking.
"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," Thompson wrote.
"If he does not improve, we will not be able to try him for his crimes," he continued. "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."

Guys can't do that.
You’ve misunderstood something.
I guess I should consider myself lucky...I’m older and am only moderately demented.
I guess it’s true. Some of us guys are just one Big O away from Never-Never Land.
He is 69. You can’t make this stuff up.
I’ve heard that there is a stage of dementia where people will lose self control. Staff at senior living facilities are aware of this.
Better “incompetent” than “incontinent.”
“I guess it’s true. Some of us guys are just one Big O away from Never-Never Land.”
Bring it.
We’ll wait to see whether the evidence stands up in court.
If one lets syphilis go untreated it can cause severe dementia.
Exactly.
I strongly contest his “Star” status at any point in his life. It took Ron Jeremy retiring from porn films for my wife to watch them. Just the thought that that fat slob rolling onto a set with his horrible North Jersey accent was enough to make anyone swear off adult films.
These charges are ridiculous. Ron never banged any woman who didn’t want it or got paid to do it.
He used to post here back in the day.
L
Evidently there used to be a poster here using that name.
He sounds just like Jon Lovitz from SNL to me.
Too many blows to the head….
Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Lol! In more ways than one!
“Just the thought that that fat slob rolling onto a set with his horrible North Jersey accent was enough to make anyone swear off adult films.”
He’s from Queens NY.
Saw him on a comedian podcast 6 yrs ago he was not demented them, now who knows
