MULTIPLE women have come forward to reveal horror stories of alleged rapes and other sexual assaults by porn legend Ron Jeremy that went unchecked for decades.
Dozens of women have reportedly come forward after Jeremy, 67, was charged by Los Angeles prosecutors in late June with sexually assaulting four women.
The LA County Sheriff's Department has received 30 allegations of forcible rape and groping against the porn star over the past 20 years in LA County since Jeremy was arrested.
There are also additional reports of assault from elsewhere in the US.
A new report from The LA Times details the accounts of several women who claim Jeremy assaulted them by using and abusing his fame.
Jeremy - whose full name is Ron Jeremy Hyatt - is one of the most well-known figures in the porn industry.
He's currently jailed on $6.6million bail after pleading not guilty to the assault charges.
Many of the women who have since come out with allegations against him said they were afraid to speak up before because of his status in the business.
But his accusers say he used that status to attempt to take whatever he wanted from whoever he wanted.
"He does things without asking," Alana Evans, president of the Adult Performers Actors Guild, told the LA Times.
"There's a lot of people who assume because we're adult actresses that it's OK to just touch us inappropriately."
Evans was at a party where a Jeremy accuser, Lianne Young, says the porn star raped her in 2000. She said Young told her about the incident in the early 2000s.
Young claims Jeremy assaulted her at a House of Blues at a porn industry Halloween party.
Rumors of Jeremy's misconduct had apparently swirled around the industry for many years. In 2017, adult entertainer Ginger Banks created a YouTube video where she compiled all the allegations against him.
A Rolling Stone article published a few months later also detailed the accounts of a dozen women who said Jeremy either groped them or violently raped them.
Jeremy responded to those allegations at the time, saying, "I have never and would never rape anyone. All serious allegations have been investigated by the police and dismissed by judges."

Even after these most recent charges, Jeremy took to social media to declare that he is innocent.
"I am innocent of all charges," he wrote on Twitter.
"I can't wait to prove my innocence in court! Thank you to everyone for all the support."
