Get away with what? Did he do another Weinstein or something?

Seems to be in the Weinstein level of allegations allright.

Pretty much did when they couldn't progress because of lack of evidence

Is it not down to claming he is not mentally fit to be taken to trial?

The charges, dating as far back as 1996, involve alleged victims ranging in age from 15 to 51 and a dozen counts of forcible assault. He had pleaded not guilty.
he looks absolutely fecked, dementia apparently so it might be that he’s unfit to stand trial.

Not even a need to ask the MT defence of why a woman went to his hotel room at 3am 'to play chess' when they had multiple other options for a nights sleep.
Some accused him of rape yet went to be 'voluntarily fully on about 10 cameras rogered for pure cash by him' on tape years later. What first attracted complete fooking nobodies to a multi-millionaire male pornstar, were you looking to do his garden with daffodils for him?

I remember him appearing on I think either the End or Good Grief Moncrief on RTE in the 90s and later on the Podge & Rodge Show and thinking he came across as a right creep.

Was that Channel 4? I remember a doc in the early 00s about an English woman who went to the States trying to make it as a porn actress and there was a very disturbing section where she "auditioned" for him.

Yes, that's what I got from the documentary. He asked someone how to spell his own name at one point plus he is hoarding all kinds of rubbish in his house. Also, people commented that he became unkempt, dirty and smelly. All signs of dementia.
It appeared that he was mentally unfit to stand trilal rather than a lack of evidence.
He is still young enough for developing demential (69!) though it could well be lifestyle/drink related.
It is an interesting 2 part documentary, worth a watch.

''This would have been in the late 80s, the beginning of the porn star’s heyday, and he already looked revolting. That was kind of the point of him, I understood. He was there so that every man, no matter how unprepossessing, could inch his erection a little closer to the dream of being able to shag all the desirable women that came into his orbit. He was there to assure them all that there was no standard too low.''
Can you imagine a man targeting a woman's appearance like that. Seems irrelevant to the case. There are others so called '' hunks'' in that industry with same allegations against them.

I thought the reason for his success was that he was able to get erections and cum on demand? In the days of viagra that doesn't seem like much but it was back in the 70s and 80s.

But what was the appeal? Large manhood I assume?

Yes you're right, certain men would target a women's appearance to score points, but the fallout for him would be huge if he was in the public eye.

He wasn't always a fat fool. The women in porn are only in it for the money. I don't think it would make a difference to them if the person they were riding for money was fat or fit as it's the same paycheck at the end of the day.

The “they were asking for it” defence doesn’t really fly much nowadays.

Its practically a cliche in show business , rich producer asks young women to sleep with him, to get the role, the only thing unusual is some of his victims were under 18. women in porn mostly do it for money, do you think they actually like all the men they have sex with. if you get into
the porn business thinking everyone will be kind,gentle, polite and considerate ,you are in the wrong business .hollywood and tv companys had to bring in intimancy experts to manage sex scenes as women complained they were not treated properly while filming sex scenes .
showbusiness or adult film production by its nature attracts creeps as theres loads of inexperienced beautiful young women desperate to get even a bit part in a film or tv show

I am pretty sure you can actually watch " casting couch " porn on your other window if you have a look.
Ahem, or so a friend of mine told me once.

Phil Soc secretary Patrick Cosgrave said: "We've been keeping this hush-hush,because we're expecting a bit of a reaction. But whether you believe Ron Jeremy is a hero or a disgrace, no-one can deny that he's a cultural icon. And for that, he deserves it."
If you're looking for attention don't pretend you're being "hush-hush". Paddy Cosgrave is such an attention-seeking gobshite.

Maybe now but back then it was incredibly common for people to write and say hurtful things about women's looks.
