Eric Weinberg was ordered to stand trial for rape by a Los Angeles judge on ZopesTuesday.

According to The Wrap and Variety, the Emmy-nominated "Scrubs" writer and producer faces 28 counts of rape and sexual assault from eight respective accusers, including four who testified that Weinberg choked them. He was ordered to stand trial by Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo, who also oversaw the Danny Masterson rape retrial.

"I was afraid he was going to kill me," one of the women said, according to the entertainment outlets. Another told the court, "I just remember thinking I was going to die," while recounting a time Weinberg put his hands on her throat.

"I thought maybe he would attack me, or rape me, or worst-case scenario: death … No one knew where I was so if something had happened there would be no trace of me," another accuser recounted to the court.

Prosecutor Marlene Martinez said that Weinberg is "much more dangerous" than the average predator.

"He will do what it takes to get these women alone in vulnerable places and rape them. There is nothing here to say he will not use other methods of deception. We’ve seen through the years he’s gotten better at it," Martinez said in court.

The accusers, who have been identified in court as Jane Does, said they agreed to meet Weinberg as his house for modeling sessions that turned physical. Variety reported that Weinberg met two women online and the others at grocery stores, coffee shops, and one accuser while waiting to pick up his middle school-aged child at school.

In July 2022, the famed producer was taken into custody, a press release from the Los Angeles Police Department posted to X said. Police booked Weinberg after charging him with multiple sexual assaults committed over the span of seven years between 2012 and 2019. 

According to IMDb, Weinberg sat as the supervising producer for "Scrubs" before becoming a co-executive producer for the show in 2002. He also worked as a producer on Showtime's Emmy and Golden Globe-winning series "Californication" and FX's "Anger Management."
