The District Attorney’s office rejected a case against Jeremy regarding an incident that occurred in 2016 due to lack of evidence.
Jeremy faces up to 90 years in prison if convicted on all charges, Deadline reported. The prosecutors have requested bail be set at $6.6 million.
Jeremy has been the subject of sexual misconduct allegations in the past. In 2017, porn star Ginger Banks released a video alleging sexual misconduct from Jeremy.
“I have never and would never rape anyone,” Jeremy said in a statement at the time. “All serious allegations have been investigated by police and dismissed by judges, as have most of the accusations of ‘groping.'”
