HuffPost
The decision was made Tuesday after a Los Angeles judge heard testimony from nine women about Weinberg's alleged sexual abuse.
“Scrubs” producer Eric Weinberg was ordered Tuesday by a Los Angeles judge to stand trial on 28 charges from women he allegedly abused between 2014 and 2019, per multiple media outlets.
Judge Charlaine Olmedo made the decision after several days of preliminary hearings at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center in downtown Los Angeles, according to Deadline. While a trial date has yet to be determined, the arraignment is set for June 4.
Weinberg was first arrested in July 2022 on suspicion of “several sexual assaults, including rape,” between 2012 and 2019. He was later released on a $3.2 million bail bond, which was then raised to $5 million and revoked, spurring his rearrest in October 2022.
The veteran writer-producer has been incarcerated at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles since Oct. 25, 2022, and faces multiple life sentences if found guilty.
Two dozen-plus claims against him were described in detail for Judge Olmedo from nine women’s testimonies during preliminary hearings for Weinberg’s upcoming trial.
