Eric Weinberg, the TV producer and “Scrubs” writer accused of sexual assaults by dozens of women across multiple decades, was arrested for a second time at his Los Feliz home – and like the first time, was able to go free on bail.
Weinberg was released on 5 million bond posted for 18 counts of sexual assault, according to booking records from the Tuesday arrest. Weinberg was previously arrested July 14 for 20 sexual assault counts, and went free on 3.2 million bond after a few nights in jail.
He is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 25 for arraignment.
The 18 counts were brought by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office. It wasn’t immediately clear whether the bail was new separate or remanded for a higher amount. Karen Silver, Weinberg’s divorce lawyer who previously denied wrongdoing on his behalf, was not available for comment Tuesday. Forms seeking clarity from the LAPD and district attorney’s office were in process.

THR wrote that Weinberg allegedly used photography as a pretense to get close to the alleged women. Weinberg reportedly “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,...

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.
