Jeremy allegedly sexually assaulted two women, ages 33 and 46, on separate occasions at a West Hollywood bar in 2017.

If convicted of either assault, Jeremy could be required to register as a sex offender.

He also is accused of forcibly raping a 30-year-old woman at the same bar in July 2019.

The District Attorney’s Office also declined a case against Jeremy due to insufficient evidence stemming from an incident in 2016.
