A 22-year-old Washington woman has filed a civil lawsuit against former adult film actor Ron Jeremy, alleging he sexually assaulted her last November when both attended a promotional event at an adult retailer in Tacoma.
The alleged incident happened at Castle Megastore on Sept. 22, 2017.
The complainant, Kristen Brodie, was a college student working as a promotional model. She was attending the event as a representative for KISW, a Seattle radio station.
(PEOPLE does not usually identify alleged victims of sex crimes, but Brodie, through her attorney, has agreed to be named.)
The suit alleges that during separate attacks, Hyatt fondled Brodie’s breasts and buttocks, and that he “forcefully” digitally penetrated her.

Hyatt is also accused of putting his mouth on Brodie’s breasts in the lawsuit.
During one of the alleged attacks, Hyatt allegedly brushed away one of his own handlers, telling them, “I’ll be done in a sec[ond],” the suit alleges.
The suit seeks unspecified damages.

“He absolutely denies that,” Goldfarb said. “He didn’t put his finger into her.”
The lawyer told the paper his client is innocent, saying, “Women often line up and there’s mutual touching. He in many cases autographs their breast and it’s consensual.”
Goldfarb added, “I don’t know if he pulled her shirt down, but I know that he may have touched her breast, he may have kissed her on the back of her neck and he’s been doing this for 40 years and has never had a problem. … She came back after she said he touched her and was doing a selfie with him. … If in fact it she felt it was inappropriate, she should have said something and believe me, he wouldn’t have touched her.”
