The new charges stem from incidents dating back to 2004, with the earliest being an accusation that Jeremy sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl in June 2004 at a party in Santa Clarita. The most recent incident that informed the new charges took place on Jan. 1, 2020, according to the D.A.’s office, when Jeremy allegedly sexually assaulted a 21-year-old woman in Hollywood.
In June, Jeremy — whose full name is Ronald Jeremy Hyatt — was charged with three counts of forcible rape, three counts of forcible penetration by a foreign object and one count each of forcible oral copulation and sexual battery based on separate incidents dating back to 2014. He also pleaded not guilty to the charges.
