Scrubs producer Eric Weinberg is accused of rape in two new civil lawsuits - having $5M bail revoked

Two anonymous civil lawsuits have been filed against former Scrubs and Californication writer and executive producer Eric Weinberg, accusing him of two separate sexual assaults - one of which is alleged to have taken place in his daughter's bedroom.

The cases detail encounters Weinberg had in 2019 at his home with two women whom he courted in the Los Feliz area before taking them back to his family home and allegedly assaulting one and raping the other. 

Weinberg, 62, was previously arrested in July and again in October and pleaded not guilty to 18 charges of sexual assault, including rape, against at least eight women - including restaurant manager Kayra Raeckle and storyboard artist Avian Anderson.

His $5 million bail was revoked in October and he has been held in jail since late October when a Los Angeles Superior Court judge described him as a possible 'serial rapist.'

Emerging reports suggest Weinberg may have engaged in a pattern of predatory behavior and sexual misconduct dating as far back as 2000. 

In 2014, police presented two rape cases to the DA's office regarding Weinberg, but both were dropped due to a lack of evidence. 

Since then, multiple women have described to the press how Weinberg used photography and his Hollywood credentials as a pretense to gain access and proximity to them.

Two new civil lawsuits have been launched against Hollywood writer and producer Eric Weinberg for various accounts of sexual assault and abuse. The suits follow the 62-year-old's October arrest for 18 separate counts of criminal sexual behavior

In late October, Weinberg's $5 million bail was revoked by a Los Angeles judge who said the former Scrubs producer may be a 'serial rapist'

Weinberg served as a writer and producer on several TV shows, including Scrubs (cast pictured), Veronica's Closet, Californication, Anger Management, Men at Work and Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher

Some women said that Weinberg pressured them during photoshoots to take off their clothing and described him engaging in sexual activity without their consent - sometimes taking pictures of the acts.

In the first of the two new civil suits, Weinberg is accused of luring an anonymous woman to his home, where he then assaulted her. 

The two met on a dating app and exchanged messages in which Weinberg, according to the suit, 'came across as charming, considerate and respectful of sexual boundaries.'

After a date, the two went back to Weinberg's Los Feliz family home where, upon arrival, Weinberg 'shockingly unzipped his pants and exposed his penis.'

He then allegedly forced the woman to perform sexual acts, some of which she believes he filmed without her consent. 

The second suit comes from another anonymous woman, whose encounter occurred in February 2019. 

Weinberg approached the woman in a grocery store parking lot and offered her the opportunity to participate in a photo shoot to help her launch a modeling career.

Weinberg then allegedly showed the woman pictures from his portfolio and of his wife and children. He allegedly told the plaintiff he had 'done photo shoots for a lot of Disney stars.'

According to the suit, the woman is 'neurodivergent' and 'has been diagnosed with ADHS, which makes her less attuned to social cues and particularly vulnerable to a sexual predator like Weinberg.'

The producer then allegedly photographed the woman in his daughter's bedroom and proceeded to assault her when she failed to comply with his increasingly sexual instructions.

According to the suit, Weinberg then 'stood between her and the door and demanded assurance that she would not tell the police he had raped her.'

The first woman's attorney, Micha Star Liberty, has argued that Weinberg exposing himself to her triggered a trauma response - meaning a reaction in which 'survival reflexes and passivity habits often take over and the victim avoids creating a scene or bruising the sexual offender’s ego in order to ensure survival.'

'In this case, women made certain decisions that may not appear rational to other people, but are actually the brain functioning in a way to protect them from violence or threats to their life,' she wrote.

Weinberg was allegedly a sexual predator for years and developed a reputation in his swanky Los Angeles neighborhood of Los Feliz, where he lived with his wife and children 

In addition to the two new civil suits, Weinberg is facing 18 charges of sexual assault against at least eight women. He has been held without bail since October 25

Avian Anderson, 33, also told  The Hollywood Reporter how Weinberg used his reputation to lure victims in

Attorneys for Weinberg did not immediately respond to the new suits filed against their client.

His divorce attorney Karen Silver previously characterized similar assault claims against him as 'strategically placed criminal allegations' arising from an 'acrimonious custody dispute.'

'These claims have previously been investigated and reviewed by both law enforcement and the Los Angeles family court and the results have continued to unveil a myriad of evidence, documentation and expert analysis that wholly undermine the narrative now being promulgated,' she said.

Plaintiffs are seeking unspecified general and punitive damages for sexual assault, sexual battery, gender violence, sexual harassment, assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligence.

Liberty said that society 'may not ever know the full extent of the damage that he’s done, but for those women who are ready and brave enough to step forward, they should have access to accountability through the civil justice system and retrieve damages due to them so they can do their best to rebuild their lives.'

Weinberg's Hollywood credits include his time as a writer and EP on hospital comedy Scrubs from 2002-2006, as well as on FX's Anger Management, which starred Charlie Sheen. He received five Emmy nominations over the years for his work on Scrubs and Politically Incorrect With Bill Maher

Weinberg is due back in court on November 15.
