Laurence Andries, 66, has been charged with sodomy, oral copulation and sexual penetration while the victim was unconscious by the use of a drug, as reported by ABC7.

Andries, who has worked on various hit shows including Six Feet Under and Blue Bloods, was arrested last August in Los Angeles and released on bond.

John Doe, a military veteran, claimed he met the producer at a writers' program and they became friends. He added that he was always upfront about being heterosexual.

'He said, "Don't be an as*****." No matter what kind of writer you want to be, treat everyone with respect. Be empathetic. It'll make you a better writer and person.'

Anyone with information about additional potential crimes involving Andries has been asked to contact the Los Angeles Police Department.
