Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon, at podium stands by a photo on display of TV producer Eric Weinberg during a news conference to announce sexual assault charges against Weinberg on Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2022 in Los Angeles.
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 Gascón said at a news conference.“The defendant relied on his Hollywood credentials to lure young women for photo shoots where he allegedly sexually assaulted them,” Gascón said.
Weinberg was previously investigated several times by police, but the DA’s office didn’t file charges for lack of evidence, Gascón said. He also was co-executive producer for “Californication" in 2007 and had producing and writing credits on other shows, including “Anger Management," “Men at Work,” “Veronica's Closet” and “Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher."
