The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office accused Eric Weinberg, a co-executive producer and writer for the 2000s television comedy Scrubs, with 18 charges of sexual assault and abuse on Tuesday.
Days after accusations of rape, oral copulation, sexual battery, false imprisonment, assault using weapons of serious bodily damage, and six counts of forcible penetration by a foreign object were filed, the suspect was taken into custody. Between 2014 and 2019, the 62-year-old is charged with sexually assaulting five different women. He was arrested on Tuesday at 2:30 p.m., and after posting a $5 million bond, he was freed at midnight. On October 25, he is anticipated to be charged.
District Attorney George Gascón is requesting that Weinberg be held without bail but that the motion was denied by the judge during a press conference on Wednesday. Weinberg, who Gascón referred to as “a very wealthy man,” quickly made bail and is now no longer in detention, he said. The date of his arraignment is October 25.
Weinberg was first detained in July on suspicion of rape. After securing a $3,225,000 bond, he was freed. Various numbers of new prospective victims got in touch with law enforcement as a result. The Los Angeles Police Department can be reached at (323) 561-3272, by email at 39284@lapd.online, or by phoning the LADA’s Bureau of Victim Services at (800) 380-3811 if you have any additional information.
D.A. Gascón announced today that television producer Eric Weinberg has been charged in an 18-count complaint for sexually assaulting five women at different times between 2014 and 2019.
