Weinberg was arrested while he was at his home in Los Feliz, Calif. and is currently being held on a whopping $3.2 million bail, according to law enforcement sources who spoke to Deadline. Authorities are specifically investigating his potential involvement in a series of brutal, sexual attacks that happened between 2012 and 2019, but police believe the crimes could possibly span back as far as the 1990s.

He is accused of seeking out young women in their 20s and 30s in public places such as grocery stores and coffee shops. Law enforcement believe his technique was to attempt to to swindle female victims into letting him photograph them as models. If they agreed, Weinberg would allegedly rape them during a private photoshoot at his home.

"When the case is submitted, we will review it and determine if charges are appropriate," a rep for Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón told the outlet.
