Ron Jeremy Documentary On Chanel 4

[andy-hughes]

Not sure if this will run, but we'll have a go -

Has anyone watched one of both of the documentaries about Ron Jeremy, currently in prison after sex abuse charges, awaiting medical evaluation.

Any views on the programme(s) - and let's please remember that abuse is a very sensitive subject for some on here, and be mindful and respectful in our responses.

I understand he was prolific porn "star" in the 60s/70s. Not much else.

I watched it. He's a creep - not much more to say really.

Well that invalidates my post.

I knew he was a successful ( if that's an apt description )porn star .

Didn't know he was facing charges

[piggynose]

He is/ was known as the hedgehog! Why? I don't know.

He is very hairy, and he could, in his younger fitter days, curl up into a ball.

Are you not able to offer a view that would not intentionally upset someone who has issues regarding experience of abuse?

[Zacs-Master]

Tell us a bit more, AH. Is it a former 'acting' colleague making the charges, or someone unrelated to the industry?

Some of his victims were children

[tiggerblue10]

He may or may not have been considered handsome at some point but looking at him makes my skin crawl. I know you're not supposed to judge people on their looks so apologies if this offends, but that's my opinion.

He may not have been a looker, but he was well equipped for his day job.

[roopower]

I have read that he was well equipped for his 'work' and thats the long and not so short of my answer.

[andy-hughes]

Zacs - As Barry's link explains, the difficulty for women speaking up against powerful influential men is well known, and that goes many more times for women in the adult film industry.

It's looking likely that Jeremy is going to be declared unfit to stand trial, so his alleged victims will be denied their chance to see justice done.

Don't you love the fact that male posters on here reply to other blokes but always ignore the replies from females?

[andy-hughes]

237SJ - my responses are based entirely on the post to which I respond, and not reflected in any way in the gender of the poster.

[237SJ]

OK..)

[andy-hughes]

Sj - are you female?

[237SJ]

Oh dear..
