after being hit with 30 counts of rape and other sexual misconduct stemming from incidents in the LA area over a 23-year period.
In January, Superior Court Judge Ronald Harris ruled that Jeremy was not competent to assist in his defense, according to his lawyer, Stuart Goldfarb, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Rooters on Tuesday.
"When he was arrested two years ago, I said he would be found innocent of all charges," Goldfarb told the News Agency that Dare Not be Named in an email last month.
"Two years have passed and with the additional discovery I received, I believed he would have been found innocent. It is unfortunate due to mental condition he will not go to trial and have the opportunity to clear his name," he added.
