TACOMA — A model is suing porn actor Ron Jeremy, claiming he sexually assaulted her while they were promoting an adult store event in Washington.

The Seattle PI reports that Kristin Brodie filed the lawsuit on Friday in King County Superior Court against the porn actor, whose real name is Ronald Jeremy Hyatt, after Tacoma city and Pierce County prosecutors declined to file criminal changes.

The lawsuit claims that the 22-year-old model was working for a Seattle radio station at a Tacoma sex shop promotional event in September 2017 when the 65-year-old Hyatt assaulted her four times.

Hyatt, a self-proclaimed “groper,” was recently accused by others in media reports of sexual assault.

His lawyer Stuart Goldfarb denied that he touched Brodie’s genitals and suggested that his appearances often include consensual touching.
