An alleged victim of Ron Jeremy’s sexual assault says she is “devastated” that he has been found mentally unfit to stand trial.
Charity Carson-Hawke, 47, says that in May 2020 Jeremy, 69, pinned her against a hotel bathroom wall, grabbed her breasts and tried to force her to touch his penis.
Last week, prosecutors announced that the former porn star had been diagnosed with “severe dementia” and would be sent to a state hospital rather than face the more than 30 counts of sexual assault against 20 women he was accused of in 2021.
He followed me and he knew who I was and he knew what I was doing. So I feel like she’s getting away with it,” Carson-Hawke told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.
I wanted to face him in court. Now that’s never going to happen, and I’m never going to get closure.’
Charity Carson-Hawke, who once considered former porn star Ron Jeremy a close friend, believes he is now “getting away with murder” with his alleged sexual assault crimes after he was found mentally unfit to stand trial last night. last week. The two appear together in an old photo.
The 47-year-old property manager from Tampa, Florida accused Jeremy of sexually assaulting her at a hotel in May 2020. They are pictured together at the hotel on the day of the alleged attack.
The Florida property manager, who had been close friends with Jeremy since 1996, reported him to police two years ago, sparking the investigation and arrest that led to dozens of other women coming forward to police.
He also sued the former porn star in civil court, a case Jeremy’s lawyers agreed to settle this month for an undisclosed “substantial” sum, believed to exceed $1 million.
Carson-Hawke was to be a key witness in the criminal trial, having told DailyMail.com last year that Jeremy had confessed to her alleged attempted rape over the phone as detectives recorded the conversation.
‘After I finished my case, I basically walked away. I changed my number. I got married on Friday. I’m trying to rebuild my life. And then I hear about this and it’s devastating,” she said.
‘I’ve been waiting for closure and I don’t feel like I have any closure now. No one is going to get closure. She’s getting away with what she did.
He is a good actor. That’s what he does, he gets away with everything.
Jeremy (pictured in court in June 2020) allegedly restrained some of the women and raped or sodomized them, and had sex with others who were asleep or unconscious, at parties, adult film conventions, and movie sets. films. He faces accusations from 21 different women, including a 15-year-old girl.

Carson-Hawke said she had been told by Los Angeles District Attorney Paul Thompson that Jeremy will be officially declared incapable of trial on January 17 and will then be admitted to a state hospital.
But she said she feels he should be convicted and go to prison, despite his medical condition.
“I think if they did commit the crime, they have to pay for the time,” he said. He is better off dead.
“It’s not just me as a victim, there are many, many others,” he added. ‘How are they going to live their lives? It’s just not fair.
‘I know Ron very well, I think he is one of the smartest men in the world. And I think he played his game pretty well.
Jeremy has pleaded not guilty to all charges and has denied any wrongdoing.
The LA Times reported that an email from Thompson described the agreement between defense-hired doctors and the prosecution regarding Jeremy’s mental state.
“As a result of the expert agreement, the defendant will be declared incompetent to stand trial…his prognosis for improvement is not good,” Thompson wrote.
If he doesn’t improve, we won’t be able to try him for his crimes. Because criminal proceedings are suspended while he is incompetent, we are also unable to obtain a guilty plea from him or discuss other steps to obtain justice for the victims in this case.’
In an interview with DailyMail.com last year, Hawke said that she and Jeremy had been hanging out in a West Hollywood hotel when he suddenly “got very aggressive” with her. She is depicted biting into Hawke’s leg on the day of the alleged incident.
Hawke was in Los Angeles visiting a friend when Jeremy invited her to a party at the Highland Gardens hotel. It was there that he ‘pounced’ on her, after a few hours of hanging out, she claimed
Hawke told DailyMail.com that he never imagined Jeremy would “try that on me, a friend of his of 25 years.”
A spokesperson for the prosecutor said: “Although his lawyer expressed some concern about his declining powers, we believed he was competent at the time of filing based on interviews we conducted with him, among other reasons.
“We had no records at the time of filing to indicate that he had a diagnosis of dementia.”
Last year, Carson-Hawke told DailyMail.com about Jeremy’s alleged attack on her.
She said she was in California visiting a friend in May 2020 when the former porn star invited her to a party at a West Hollywood hotel she was staying at, despite having an apartment across the street.
After spending a few hours at the Highland Gardens Hotel, Jeremy swooped in, he claimed.
Hawke said that she and Jeremy were the best of friends for 25 years, but now she regrets ever meeting him.
Ron asked me, “Charity, come here. I want to show you something.” I didn’t even think about it because we’ve always been friends, and I always trusted him. I went to the bathroom.
“That’s when he closed the door and pinned me against the wall, he got very aggressive with me.”
Hawke said she struggled fiercely and screamed for help as he groped her breasts and tried to force her to touch his penis.
“The five to seven minutes that I was fighting in the bathroom with him, I felt powerless,” he said. He tried with all his might to rape me that day.
‘If it wasn’t for the fact that I’m so flexible, I wouldn’t have run away.
‘I couldn’t believe what he was trying to do to me; that he would try that with me, a friend of his of 25 years.’
Finally, Carson-Hawke worked up the courage to call the Los Angeles district attorney’s office.
When a detective assigned to investigate discovered that Jeremy was trying to contact Hawke, he suggested that he call him with the police listening, to see if he would admit to the alleged assault.
He kept calling me. I think she was trying to shut me up,” Carson-Hawke said. ‘I didn’t want to call Ron. I don’t want to talk to him ever again.
‘But I ended up calling Ron with the detective on the other line.
‘I reiterated the scene in the bathroom. She admitted everything. She just her started laughing like it was no big deal, saying “you know you wanted it” and very rude and inconsiderate comments.
My last words to him were, “You’re a fat, lying psycho.” Then I hung up the phone.
