Meanwhile in Hollyweird…
Hollywood producer and former ‘Scrubs’ writer Eric Weinberg on Tuesday was arrested on sex assault charges.
Multiple women accused Weinberg of sexual misconduct going back decades.
Weinberg has been on law enforcement’s radar for years but the DA previously refused to bring charges.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Weinberg’s sex misconduct goes back decades and also involved minors.
Weinberg would use his status as a ‘producer’ to lure wannabe starlets into his home.
“Women described how Weinberg would use photography as a pretense to get closer to them, often listing his Hollywood credits in order to establish credibility and trust. Some say Weinberg would pressure them during shoots into taking off clothing. Multiple women also described Weinberg as engaging in sexual activity without their consent, frequently photographing the acts as they took place.” – According to The Hollywood Reporter.
“Weinberg’s conduct put him on the radar of law enforcement repeatedly before his eventual arrest in July, with multiple women telling THR that they reported Weinberg for claims of sexual assault and stalking. Weinberg was arrested for the first time in 2014 after then 22-year-old Kayra Raecke alleged to LAPD that Weinberg had raped her during a photo shoot at his Los Feliz home.” THR reported.
Weinberg, 62, was freed late Tuesday night after posting $5 million bail.
