Porn star Ron Jeremy has been indicted for more than 30 counts of sexual assault involving 21 women in the past two decades, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced Wednesday.

Jeremy, whose legal last name is Hyatt, is charged with sexually assaulting women over a 23-year period between 1996 and 2019, according to the district attorney's office.

The victims are between 15 and 51 years old.

Ron Jeremy appears in court on June 26, 2020 in Los Angeles.

Jeremy has pleaded not guilty to 12 counts of forcible rape, seven counts of forced oral intercourse, six counts of restrained sexual assault, four counts of sexual penetration with a foreign object, two counts of sexual penetration of an unconscious or sleeping person, and one count lewd act on a minor under the age of 14 or 15, sodomy by use of force and assault with the intent to commit a rape, the district attorney's office said.

"His position is the same (as) when the criminal complaint was filed," Jeremy's attorney, Stuart Goldfarb, said in a statement to CNN.

"He is innocent of all charges."

A grand jury returned the indictment on August 19 and it was opened on Wednesday.

It comes almost a year after Jeremy was charged with more than 30 counts of sexual assault.

"Too often, survivors of sexual assault suffer in isolation," Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said in a statement.

"We must ensure that survivors have all options available to assist with recovery, including trauma-informed services for healing and support in reporting such crimes."

Jeremy, 68, is expected to return to court on October 12 for a pre-trial conference.
