LOS ANGELES (AP) — Adult film star Ron Jeremy was charged with raping three women and sexually assaulting a fourth, Los Angeles County prosecutors said Tuesday.
Every year the Queens Tribune would do a special issue of famous people from Queens. Ron Jeremy formally known as Ron Hyatt would be on the list with an attendant profile. Kind of cringeworthy but he is famous. Wait for a Trump tweet “Very unfair!, “Great guy!” “The prosecutor is part of the deep state” “California!”

I’m generally not inclined to criticize TPM’s editorial decisions, but as we are facing a raging, near-out-of-control pandemic, an economic crisis that may presage a second Great Depression, and the existential threat of a criminal Executive branch that threatens the very foundations of democracy, can someone tell me why this merits coverage?

In hindsight, I agree with you on that. He is a name built on a specific industry and talent(questionable) with little to do with current events. I did half expect an Epstein or Trump reference but no.
Apparently he got so much Extenze ™ as one of the perks of endorsing their product that he took way too much and “couldn’t control himself”?
For fuck’s sake [a rare case in which that phrase applies], he could have just said “Hi, I’m Ron Jeremy” and gotten voluntarily laid in ten minutes. Why in the world would he rape women aged 30, 33, and 46? Whether it was a strip club or a singles bar or just a quiet little beer hall, this makes no sense, unless he was so drugged he was out of his mind, on multiple occasions. In the old days, he was said to be nicer to the female talent than most male porn stars of the era treated them.
But people lose their senses and souls for all kinds of reason, and fame seems to encourage it.
