A FORMER top Hollywood porn star has claimed Ron Jeremy would always have a “plentiful supply of Quaaludes” to seduce his co-stars.
Paul Barresi, now a respected private investigator, alleges Jeremy was like a “pickpocket” with women, in a frightening comparison with jailed comedian Bill Cosby, who admitted knocking women out with strong sedatives.
It comes after the former performer, real name Ron Jeremy Hyatt, was arrested in June and charged with raping three women and assaulting another.
Hyatt, 67, has since been charged with 20 new sex assault counts regarding 13 women. Jeremy strongly denies all wrongdoing.
Barresi, 71, began working as a Playboy model in the early 70s and hooked up with Hyatt in 1980 for the blue movie ‘Co-ed Fever’, which was being filmed in Northern California.
He claims: “Ron and I took a liking to each other. We sat side-by-side on the flight to San Francisco and talked about a variety of things. He was well-educated.
“He wanted to know everything about my workout routine and diet.
“‘There aren’t many guy’s in the porn business that look like you’, he said.
“From that day forward, ever since I’ve known Ron, he’s not addressed me as Paul, only as ‘Handsome’, which made me feel really good.”
But Barresi claims it didn’t take long to see what Hyatt was really like when the cast were relaxing off-camera and he chatted up a female, who was engaged, before slipping her a Quaalude, and then having sex.
She was conscious and aware she was taking the drug, says Barresi.
He alleges: “When the cameras weren’t rolling, everyone laid out by the pool. Ron charmed everyone he came into contact with and that’s really what made him so likeable.
“He had a charisma and a way about him that was alluring and genuine.
“Floating around on a rubber raft, Ron struck up a friendly conversation with a very attractive makeup artist.
“Her name I can’t recall but she was tall, very pretty and she had thick, long, blonde hair.
“The way he talked to the ladies, Ron was quite an operator – always in control. She told us that she was engaged and planning to be married.
“I immediately thought to myself: ‘This is a young lady who is out of bounds.’
“When evening fell, Ron handed the pretty bride-to-be a Quaalude and told her to take it. “It’ll relax you.”
He claims after dinner he saw the two of them standing in the bathroom with the door open.
“She was in a state of mind that Ron promised her she would be,” Barresi said. “Relaxed would be an understatement.
“I can say with absolute certainty, the last thing she was thinking about was her husband-to-be.
“But that was Ron, he didn’t give them a chance to think, like a pickpocket, you don’t even know what’s happening, it’s that instant. He had it down to an art form.”
Barresi went on: “It struck me odd that Ron wouldn’t ever have any shampoo and he’d have to get it from a female actress, who’d give him some cream rinse.
“He didn’t have toiletries either, but he sure had a plentiful supply of Quaaludes.
“But he had those for his own purpose, he’d only share them with the women.
“He was a cheap guy, he never liked to spend a dime, he drove a crappy car, he really hoarded his money – and he had plenty of money.
“Are detectives looking into whether Ron shares the same modus operandi and signature trademark as Bill Cosby?
“Somnophilia, also know as sleeping beauty syndrome, is where an individual becomes sexually aroused by someone who is unconscious.
“Bill Cosby had the same problem and look where it landed him.”
Hyatt previously admitted using Quaaludes in an interview with Culture Magazine in 2015, when asked which drugs he thought helped during sex.
He told the outlet: “I can make a list: ‘The Ron Jeremy list of which [drugs] are good for sex!’
“Pot is excellent for sex. You get really relaxed. It helps women get in the mood–and guys too.
“A little bit of alcohol is good; E . . . [though] I don’t endorse any of these illegal products; [and] GHB, which I would never endorse!
“And, of course, Quaaludes—back when I was a kid, they worked really well. That was the drug of choice … Kids would take it together and get high and mess around.”
When approached by The Sun, Hyatt’s attorney, Stuart Goldfarb, said he had no comment, but confirmed the case had been pushed back two months until October 28.
On a separate occasion, Barresi alleges a novice actress wasn’t sure if she wanted to star in a X-rated movie, as she’d only ever had sex with her boyfriend.
“She was pacing the floor of the agency, worried about having sex with a porn actor,” he claimed.
“Before I could tell Ron that I wouldn’t want to be the guy to do the first scene with her, he already had taken her by the hand, scurried her into the restroom, quickly closed the door and proceeded to engage in sex before she could say no. It was that quick.”
Hyatt and Barresi went onto work on numerous films together and shared the same agent Jim Smith, although Barresi was never as carefree about the roles he chose, but alleges Hyatt was more flippant about contracting an STI, especially AIDS, which he called a “gay disease,” according to Barresi.
He says: “In the mid-80s, I was at the height of my success as an actor in adult entertainment, and then I was offered a starring role in an adult movie in Berlin.
“I turned it down out of fear of contracting AIDS.
“Ron tried to talk me into not passing up the opportunity to work with some of the most beautiful women in the world. ‘AIDS is a gay man’s disease’, he said.
“I argued it was a killer that didn’t discriminate.”
Barresi – who’s worked with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars including Tom Cruise and Arnold Schwarzenegger – is currently assisting the Los Angeles District Attorney and Los Angeles County Sheriff Department in its investigation into Hyatt.
He has also handed over a sick video allegedly showing the shamed porn star having sex with an 87-year-old woman, who appears to be lack the ability to consent, which is being reviewed by investigators.
The Sun revealed how Ginger Banks, a porn star who first exposed a raft of sexual abuse allegations against Hyatt three years ago, has since spoken to doezens of other alleged victims.
Barresi is now caught up in his own legal drama, as he’s suing Trader Joe’s over an alleged altercation late last year at a store in Rancho Cucamonga, California, where he lives.

According to court documents, the lawsuit alleges that Barresi was shopping when he was called an “old fa****” by a Trader Joe’s employee, who then physically attacked him.
Barresi is seeking damages for discrimination, negligence, and elder abuse.
The Sun has reached out to Ron Jeremy Hyatt’s attorney for comment.
