Eric Weinberg, a veteran writer-producer on the TV show “Scrubs,” was ordered on Tuesday to stand trial on 28 charges of rape and sexual assault.
Weinberg, 63, who also wrote on “Californication” and “Politically Incorrect” with Bill Maher, faces multiple life sentences if convicted.
Judge Charlaine Olmedo heard testimony from nine women at a preliminary hearing that ran for more than two weeks in late April and early May. The women told similar stories of being approached by Weinberg in public places, where he asked if they were interested in modeling.
Many of the women testified that agreed to meet Weinberg at his home, where he would begin to take photos. At some point, the encounter would become sexual, as Weinberg either began to remove their clothing or groped himself.
Several of the women — identified in court as Jane Does — said they became terrified when they realized the photo shoot was just...

Over the weekend real estate heir Robert Durst was arrested in New Orleans on a murder warrant in the California investigation into the death of his longtime friend Susan Berman, leaving some wondering if the HBO documentary The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst played a role in his capture.
News: Robert Durst Says He "Killed Them All" in Final Moments of HBO Doc
"What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course," Durst said to himself during a private moment in the hotel bathroom following his final interview with director Andrew Jarecki that aired Sunday.

How will Sandra Bullock fare in court if she decides to split from Jesse James? An attorney (who's also a stepmom) breaks it down.
Robin Sax: I am a stepmother of two boys myself, and I can tell you: Stepmothers have no rights when it comes to the kids.
In a divorce or separation situation, the stepmother has absolutely no rights to the children, no matter how close she was to them. If things turn ugly between Sandra and Jesse, and he says he doesn't want Sandra to see the kids, then she won't be seeing the kids -- unless she can work out something with the mom (and they reportedly have a contentious relationship).
