조회 수 1 추천 수 0 2020.07.17 12:18:35A former bar manager at the legendary Rainbow Bar & Grill in West Hollywood has jumped to the defense of accused sex predator Ron Jeremy, saying: 'Yes he's a groper but he's no rapist.'
Eliot Preschutti, 46, ran the famous rock bar on the Sunset Strip for two years from 2017-2019 and claims Jeremy came in four nights a week without fail.
He said he spent hours with the adult star and witnessed first hand how he was mobbed by dozens of female fans almost every night.
Jeremy was charged with forcibly raping three women and sexually assaulting another in separate incidents dating back to 2014, Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey announced Tuesday.
Eliot Preschutti, 46, was the bar manager at the legendary Rainbow Bar & Grill in West Hollywood where porn star Ron Jeremy would frequent.

The star was charged with three counts each of forcible rape and forcible penetration by a foreign object and one count each of forcible oral copulation and sexual battery.
Preschutti believes Jeremy - nicknamed The Hedgehog - has been wrongly accused by women who want to make a name for themselves.
'I saw all the people that come toward him, the people that flock around him,' he said.

'I know him a lot more than most people do and while I can't speak for any of the situations that he's being accused of, I would just assume it's just another transparent attempt to take him down.
'I'm not his best friend, but I've had hours and hours of conversation with him and seven to eight hours, four times a week watching his behavior.
'I've seen the guy in action, he just doesn't need to do this, to rape women. There's plenty of women making themselves available to him.
'Yes he's a groper, he has admitted that himself.
He will grab a girl's ass if they want a picture with him because he's a porn star and he will put his mouth near their boob and try to make a funny picture for du lịch bắc kinh them to go show their friends, again because he's a porn star.
'The same way when you get a picture with a boxer, they're going to pretend to punch you in the jaw.'
Jeremy stands accused of forcibly raping a 25-year-old woman at a home in West Hollywood in May, 2014.
He also is charged with allegedly sexually assaulting two women, ages 33 and 46, on separate occasions at a West Hollywood bar in 2017, as well as forcibly raping a 30-year-old woman at the same bar in July 2019.
It's not clear at which bar the alleged incidents took place, but Jeremy was a regular at the Rainbow.
Preschutti cites one incident in the bar when a woman 'falsely' accused Jeremy of attempted rape.
He said the woman came into the bar around a year ago and was talking to Jeremy when she followed him to the back.
Preschutti claims he witnessed the sequence of events and says the woman came running out screaming: 'He just tried to rape me'.
He recalled: 'I was in the kitchen the whole time and Ron came in the back and some woman, a black woman - she was heavier and not very attractive - was following him into the back area.
'She was all over him, this and that.
And I walked by and I was like "oh, there's another girl all over Ron".
'Then I heard all this commotion. And I went out and it turns out that she was going, "he's trying to rape me, he's trying to rape me". And then the woman runs out and she's got her boyfriend with a camera standing outside of the area videotaping.
'And she jumps around in an absolute transparent attempt to maybe extort money or get a lawsuit or get attention, I don't know, but it was a lie, it was pathetic.
He did not try to rape that girl.'
