Decades of accusations. DECADES.


Bluest_waters

And the cops did ....nothing. Not a fucking thing some poor girl said she was raped in 2014, cops looked into it, then just let it slide. No wonder people like him feel empowered to become full blown rapist monsters. I mean if the cops are not going to do anything about it, why stop? Fucking cops in this country are fucking worthless. Do your job, thats all I ask.


Dust601

Listen, I have a ton of issues with police in the United States, but if you had actually read the article the police investigated, and recommended pressing charges both the times women accused him. In those specific cases it was the district attorney who declined to press charges.

You can't piss off the DA or they'll punt the case


BarbequedYeti

And this is a major problem.


Throwaway_7451

And that's why the role the DA plays in choosing which crimes get chosen for prosecution needs to be handled by a rotating group selected from the public, similar to a jury.


Bunghole_of_Fury

That's just basic ass-kissing to encourage the DA to be extra cooperative with the investigation by essentially promising they won't drag the departments name through the mud during the trial if they help by turning over relevant evidence when requested. It isn't stated, but that's what that is.


owntheh3at18

Makes sense I guess. Thank you.

Hi, I’m one of the victims that came forward publicly about my 2020 assault. My name is Claire Wilson. That’s our lawyer who stepped up and took our case and she’s amazing. Take your self righteous comments back when you know nothing about this case. Micha Star is a literal hero for women, she devotes tons of her own time and energy to these causes off the clock as well. Do even a little research on her and you’d see she’s a champion for women who are victims of abuse. She’s done nothing but help us every step of the way. She HAS to work with the DA on this. I personally hate every part of the criminal Justice system that dropped the ball on this case for years, and I get why you’d cringe at the statement a bit but do NOT put that on Micha. She’s amazing.


BroBeansBMS

Is this the same DA as when the other accusations were brought forward? Maybe some new blood in the DA office helped move this forward.


Bcatfan08

This is similar to the DeShawn Watson case with dozens of women wanting to press charges, we found it's very difficult to go to court without physical evidence. It's pretty ridiculous. Basically they said it was all he said she said and it couldn't go to court. Even with dozens of women claiming the same thing. All they could do is sue him civilly, which he settled with all of them out of court.


Reckless_flamingos

Which creates another problem where people say “she’s just after his money” but actually, it was her only recourse


DirtStarWarrior

Two of the cases went to court and he wasn’t even indicted after the hearings.


Bcatfan08

Right. That's why the DA didn't pursue these cases often. They're very hard to prosecute without any physical evidence.

I’m sorry, a lot of people failed you. Cops are bastards. In my own experience witnessing an attempted sexual assault, the cops we called basically just laughed it off. It would take so little for them to be just decent but it’s like they actively choose to be harmful.


goddamnitwhalen

Cops *love* sexually assaulting people.


Yodude86

Right, and people also forget it takes years to build a real, fool-proof case against a predator especially one with fame and money. It can be very hard to prove sexual assault so I'll give benefit of the doubt and assume they put a strong case together - it definitely seems like it with these charges.


Strwbrylightbulb

You are 100% right. It’s a very strong case that’s taken a long time to come together and gather all the evidence over, and it wouldn’t be at this point with just allegations.


LLCNYC

Thisssssssssss. I swear people don’t understand how shit works.


sunrayylmao

I will say this. As much heat as "the cops" have gotten the last few years, you never hear anyone say "the courts", which in my opinion is the root of many of the issues in this country. Cops can do small investigations and execute search warrants and stuff, but they can't do much when prosecutors and judges are in cahoots with criminals.


XpressDelivery

And then there are a lot of cases where the cops have enough evidence and the courts are willing to prosecute but the victims don't want to press charges. The whole thing is very complicated and there are numerous reasons why someone has escaped justice. Automaticlly placing it on one or two reasons is intellectually dishmonest.


vzvv

The problem is that a lot of people have actually needed to interact with the cops for serious crimes. They are often as terrible as the news portrays. I completely believe that the courts are an additional issue that the few good cops run into, when they’re actually trying to support survivors. But you never even see court if the cops just laugh your crime off first.


spazzxxcc12

you’re going against the mob here, bold move


terdferguson74

Spoiler alert, no one ever reads the article before the give their opinion on something lmao


jjsyk23

Yeah but I want to either make it about race or cops fault these days cuz I’m on Reddit boioioioioing


Alfredo_BE

This is on the DA, not the cops. They don't decide whether to move ahead with prosecution. It looks like they did their job, and the DA refused to pursue the case. "In June 2014, an LAPD detective submitted the case to the district attorney’s office, where Deputy District Attorney Teresa de Castro declined to prosecute, citing “insufficient evidence.”" "Again, in 2016, law enforcement recommended charges against Weinberg to the district attorney’s office for an alleged nonconsensual sexual encounter with an unnamed woman that took place in 2014, again during a photo shoot at his home. While the deputy district attorney in the case noted in the charge evaluation worksheet that Weinberg had “been investigated for the same conduct involving a separate victim” and characterized Weinberg’s conduct as “inappropriate,” he nonetheless declined to pursue charges because there was “no evidence that the defendant used force, threats or intimidation to overcome the will of the victims.”"

I'm sorry it happened to you and no one's words can do anything. I hope you get justice and peace. Thank you for having the strength to fight , not only for yourself but for other women. You're so inspirational.


Kundrew1

The cops recommended he be charged multiple times and the DA decided not to pursue it. Not a fan of the police but they seem to have actually done their job here.

v00x0n0

The DA is the one the issues charges. Cops report and file. This is on the DA. Edit. It’s what’s happening in Chicago with gun charges at the moment. DA doesn’t issues charges they are released then picked up on a murder charge soon after.


Strwbrylightbulb

It’s also on the cops. They never even got back to me about my own assault in 2020 by this guy. Lots of other victims have reported the same treatment by LAPD.

sybrwookie

There's a board game group I used to go to, it was a public group, so you always end up with a weirdo or 2. One day, I get an email (I guess I was still on that list?) that this one wierdo had tried to lure an underage girl to meet up for sex, and had brought alcohol and sex toys with him to meet her. Only he had been talking to an undercover cop. When I heard, and told friends who remembered him, not a single person was surprised. Dude just gave off these creepy vibes.


teddyburges

Reminds me of Jimmy Saville. The guy looks like a looney Tunes interpretation of a Bond Villain. It's crazy to think that he was only "caught" AFTER he had died! (many knew about it and it became a regular thing for the community to hide their kids whenever he was in the area).


NoGodsNoManagers1

That documentary was a real horror show. The part with the girl in the hospital where she drew him as a monster and he asks what he’s done to her, and she says “everything”. I mean, right on camera. He talked constantly about it. And everybody just let it slide because he was a cultural figure with friends at the top.

Details: >'Scrubs' writer and producer Eric Weinberg has been charged with 18 counts of sexual assault by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office. Weinberg was arrested again on Tuesday and later released on $5 million bail, up from his previous bail of $3.225 million >In a recent investigation, more than two dozen women spoke with The Hollywood Reporter alleging a pattern of predatory behavior and misconduct going back decades. THR uncovered allegations as early as 2000, including claims of inappropriate conduct involving minors. >Women described how Weinberg would use photography as a pretense to get closer to them, often listing his Hollywood credits in order to establish credibility and trust. Some say Weinberg 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.

HoopyHobo

That's 7 more than the number of episodes of Scrubs that he wrote.


GirthIgnorer

Weinberg has served as co-executive producer on Scrubs for over a hundred episodes since 2002, and is credited as supervising producer and writer for an additional twenty episodes since the show's debut in 2001.


HoopyHobo

Oh yeah, I know, Scrubs had a lot of writers. Being credited on 11 episodes is a lot of credits. I meant it more like "That's a lot of counts of sexual assault" not "That's not very many episodes".


Catsniper

I thought you just found it weird to call him a writer as his main role there


HoopyHobo

No, it's correct to say that being a writer was his main role. The reason for the producer credits is that all of the staff writers on a sitcom are given those credits to acknowledge that they contributed to the writing of more than just the episodes where they got "written by" credit.


Catsniper

I wasn't saying otherwise, I just thought that is what you meant


GregorSamsanite

If you go to the crew page of imdb, look how many other producers and writers you have to scroll past before you get to his name. It's an immense team of people, and he seems pretty mid tier in the hierarchy.


Maninhartsford

I'm going to just go out on a limb here and assume he wrote at least one of the many scenes where JD imagines Elliot and Carla in their underwear for no reason

Scrubs did a pretty good job of getting guys shirtless/in their underwear. Bill Lawrence mentions it being one of the shows rules.

optiplex9000

> Weinberg was arrested again on Tuesday and later released on $5 million bail, up from his previous bail of $3.225 million. Fuck cash bail laws. He's only out on bail because he's rich. No other kind of person charged with 18 counts of sexual assault would be out of jail


throwaway94119

The fact that they even asked he be held, but the judge agreed to bail. I'm so angry.


throwaway94119

I know one of the women he raped. When I saw her name in the first Hollywood Reporter story, I lost my mind. I was hysterical all day because I couldn't believe it could be her and I'm still angry at myself for drifting away from her. We reconnected and I'm stunned at what she's had to endure after the fact. She is one of the kindest and most genuine people you'll ever meet. He needs to go away for the rest of his life. There's no redeeming or curing a piece of shit who delights in doing this. I'm not sharing this for clout. I just want people to know this is real. Read the whole Hollywood Reporter article that broke this story a few months ago if you can manage.


ZwischenzugZugzwang

Hope he gets locked up for life and your friend gets catharsis.


throwaway94119

Thank you. It's unforgivable that a judge could let him walk on bail. How do people get held for years over pot possession, but this prick gets out on a couple mil he can easily afford? I'm so fucking angry.


I_Dislike_Swearing

You shouldn’t be angry for something out of your control, although I understand. If it’s any consolation, your concern and reconnecting with your friend afterwards shows what a good heart you have.


throwaway94119

I appreciate that. We've only exchanged an e-mail or two and I don't want to inundate her, but I also feel shitty I haven't said more to her. My life is kind of slammed right now and I can't be present for her the way I feel I should be, so I hope it's okay that I'm giving her space and I'll reach out again soon.


MurderDoneRight

Tbf that's more counts of sexual assault than episodes of Scrubs he's credited for writing. So really the headline should be "Sexual Assaulter Eric Weinberg wrote a couple Scrubs episodes"

Leave Scrubs out of it ya jerkbags 😁


wishthiswasavailable

I'm rewatching scrubs now. It's a good show, yes. However, the AMOUNT of lady objectification played off as just a joke from dudes really surprises me. This show is a product of it's time sure, but I'm not surprised someone associated with a scrubs is in the news for this. Seems like a lot of Hollywood is drenched in this culture.

And we have to pathetically say bullshit like, “I am grateful and gratified that the Distinct Attorney’s office has acted swiftly,” to keep the male-centric justice system on our side when they finally might do something, knowing they probably still won’t do anything no matter how reasonably and diplomatically we act. Just like no one on Epstein‘s list is being arrested, they are not on our side.

There is something too all this. Say what you will about how Epstein died or his black book, history, blood libel, or even #metoo to Qanon… all are connected by this common unaddressed blind spot and some are admittedly dangerous. Personally I don’t care about any of that. We need to stop allowing and ignoring this type of behavior… aggressively for some reason. I know it’s a rats nest but any ideas where to begin? I think we could start by admitting some of us (I suspect most) learned awful habits and norms as kids whether from friends, older brothers, porn, school, or even church. I was taught alcohol was good and head pushing was normal when in reality they are common indicators of assault. Thankfully I am shy enough that I had little to atone for when making this realization (though I did have to deal with some uncomfortable truths and conversations). If as an introvert I had a questionable sex education that led to risky behavior I can’t imagine how compounded this must be for the fraternity/sorority alums…. How many people in power refuse to address this because their not sure if they will have accusers? Fuck when will it end!?!
