Ex-"Scrubs" producer faces 18 counts for alleged sex crimes

Definitely not a "Chick Magnet"

Eric Weinberg, an ex-producer of the show "Scrubs" was hit with 18 felony counts for alleged sexual assaults of five women, Harvey Weinstein style. What's with it with guys whose names start with 'Wein'?

Anyway, the loser lured his victims using his Hollywood bona fides, the Los Angeles District Attorney said Wednesday.

Weinberg's alleged crimes took place from 2014 until 2019. He would convince  his victims to go to his home where he allegedly sexually assaulted them. He was arrested Tuesday, about a week after he was charged.

Some of the counts against the alleged scumbag, who also co-executive produced the television show “Californication,” include six counts of sexual penetration by use of force, four counts of oral copulation, three counts of forcible rape and two counts of sexual battery by restraint, the LA County District Attorney’s Office said. 

“The defendant relied on his Hollywood credentials to lure young women for photo shoots where he allegedly sexually assaulted them,” leftist District Attorney George Gascón said in a statement. Had Weinberg been an illegal alien this would have never gotten to this point and he would have instead received housing, medical benefits, and food stamps.

“Power and influence can corrupt some to hurt others that often leads to a lifetime of trauma for those who are victimized," Gascón said, unaware of the irony of his words.

“My office’s Bureau of Victim Services is here to help in the healing process to ensure all victims have the guidance and support they need on the road to recovery.”

Weinberg, 62, is out of custody after he forked over a $5 million bond, prosecutors said.

The district attorney’s office said two separate times in 2014 Weinberg went up to women in public places and told them he was a photographer and eventually got them to come to his home where he was alleged to have sexually assaulted them.

Then in 2017, he plotted out the same plan leading to another sexual assault, according to prosecutors. Weinberg’s other two sexual assaults connected to the charges occurred with two women in different incidents in 2018 and 2019, the district attorney’s office alleged.

Weinberg's lawyer Robin Sax, said the accusations by all five women were a "blatant smear campaign" designed to put her client in the "most horrendous light," according to the Los Angeles Times.

The LAPD previously arrested creepy Weinberg in July for alleged sex crimes between 2012 and 2019. A news release stated that he would approach the women he targeted in grocery stores, coffee shops, and other public spots and offer them photo shoots and potato chips or a mocha frappalatte with a dab of creme de brolio and cinnamon. 

Since Weinberg’s initial arrest over the summer, Gascón’s office said “dozens of additional potential victims have contacted law enforcement.”

The district attorney’s office vowed that, in spite of Weinberg having voted for Obama and then Biden, each incident would nevertheless be “thoroughly investigated and reviewed for additional charging.”

His arraignment is scheduled for Oct. 25 whereupon he is expected to identify a gay Venezuelan illegal immigrant named Pedro Jose de Guapo el Sid Mercado.
