Retired adult film star Ron Jeremy, who has since 2020 faced dozens of sexual assault charges, will be released from jail as his deteriorating health has reached a point where he is "essentially bedridden".

Jeremy was arrested in 2020 and indicted on 33 counts of sexual assault after 21 women and girls made those accusations which allegedly took place over the course of two decades. He pleaded not guilty and his attorney Stuart Goldfarb said he was “innocent of all the charges.”

The 70-year-old was officially found incompetent to stand trial earlier this year. A Friday ruling states that he will be relocated to a “private residence” to receive “round-the-clock medical care,” according to an email obtained by the Los Angeles Times.

Los Angeles County Deputy Dist. Atty. Paul Thompson shared the email with the women Jeremy allegedly assaulted, stating that his “medical condition has deteriorated to the point that he is essentially bedridden.”

“I feel very badly that this is where we are, but it is beyond our control. His mental and physical condition deteriorated rapidly, and we are left with no other options,” Thompson wrote. “I’m sorry that we couldn’t get complete justice for you in court.”
