According to authorities, Hyatt is accused of forcibly raping a 25-year-old woman at a home in West Hollywood in May 2014.
In 2017, he allegedly sexually assaulted two women, aged 33 and 46, on two separate occasions at a bar in West Hollywood.
Jeremy is also accused of forcibly raping a 30-year-old woman at the same bar in July 2019.
The names of the victims have not been released.
The DA’s office said it declined a case against him from a 2016 incident due to “insufficient evidence.”
The case against Hyatt was filed Monday and his arraignment is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. His bail is being recommended at $6.6 million by prosecutors.
If convinced, Hyatt faces a possible maximum sentence of 90 years to life in state prison, officials said.
Deputy District Attorney Paul Thompson of the Sex Crimes Division is prosecuting the case.
