LOS ANGELES (AP) Eric Weinberg, an executive producer and writer for the hit TV show Scrubs and many others, has been charged with sexually assaulting five women that he lured to photo shoots and there could be many more victims, Los Angeles County prosecutors announced Wednesday.

Weinberg, 62, was arrested Tuesday, nearly a week after he was charged with 18 felony counts including rape, oral copulation, forcible sexual penetration, sexual battery by restraint, false imprisonment by use of violence, assault by means of force likely to cause great bodily injury and attempted forcible penetration with a foreign object, according to the district attorneys office.

He was released that day on a $5 million bond. His arraignment was scheduled for Oct. 25.

An email to an agent for Weinberg seeking comment wasnt immediately returned.

Weinberg was charged for alleged attacks between 2014 and 2019, but investigators say they believe there may be other victims of assaults dating back to the 1990s, District Attorney George Gascn said at a news conference.

He urged them to come forward.

The defendant relied on his Hollywood credentials to lure young women for photo shoots where he allegedly sexually assaulted them, Gascn said. Power and influence can corrupt some to hurt others, that often leads to a lifetime of trauma for those who are victimized.
