In July, five-time Emmy nominee Eric Weinberg was arrested on 20 charges of sexual assault, including rape. He currently remains free on a $3.25 million bail. Now, a new The Hollywood Reporter exposé reveals the long road to Weinberg’s arrest and why a detective on the case believes the claims of sexual assault, including rape, kidnapping, harassment, and stalking only “scratch the surface.”
The “Scrubs” co-executive producer and writer was arrested July 14 on sexual assault charges dating from 2012 to 2019. Approximately 30 women spoke with THR about their encounters with Weinberg, who allegedly approached them in public areas throughout Los Angeles, listed his Hollywood credentials with shows like “Californication” and “Anger Management,” and persuaded them to pose for his amateur photography. Claims range from 2000 through 2021 and include claims across Oregon and New York as well as California.
Weinberg is accused of violent rape under the guise of photo shoots or an OKCupid date. Weinberg’s alleged targets also included at least two underage girls, one of whom was a high school classmate of Weinberg’s sons.
Multiple women filed rape kits after encounters with Weinberg. In 2014, numerous women brought allegations to Los Angeles law enforcement, only to be told there was insufficient evidence to fully investigate the claims. Per THR, in at least two cases the LAPD believed there was enough evidence to charge Weinberg, but the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute.
