Seven additional sexual assault counts were filed today against Ron Jeremy involving six women for incidents that date back to 1996, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced.

Jeremy pleaded not guilty to the new charges today and is scheduled to return to court on December 14 for a preliminary hearing.

The new charges span a 17-year period and the victims range in age from 17 to 38. In October 1996, a 19-year-old woman was allegedly raped by the defendant during a photo shoot in the San Fernando Valley.

In October 2000, a 26-year-old woman was allegedly raped by Hyatt at a party in a nightclub. Sometime between 2002 and 2003, Hyatt also is accused of sexually assaulting a young woman at a strip club in City of Industry.

A 17-year-old girl was allegedly raped by Jeremy at a home in Woodland Hills in 2008. Two years later, a woman went to Jeremy’s home where she was allegedly sexually assaulted.

In January 2013, Hyatt is accused of sexually assaulting a 38-year-old woman at a West Hollywood bar Jeremy frequented.

If convicted as charged, Jeremy faces a possible maximum sentence of more than 330 years to life in state prison.

Additionally, 14 cases were declined today because they were outside the statute of limitations.

The case remains under investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the Los Angeles Police Department and the District Attorney Office’s Bureau of Investigation.
