TV producer Eric Weinberg has $5-million bail revoked after judge labels him danger to society.
A judge’s order for Eric Weinberg to be held on $5-million bail has been revoked in Portland, Oregon, after he was charged with criminal sexual abuse of two children — with allegations he subjected them to physical abuse.
According to court documents, Weinberg, 52, produced and distributed pornographic videos featuring his children, including one in which he forced his 11-year-old daughter to have sex with a man who took his photograph.
Weinberg is also accused of taking his children to his apartment to watch the videos and then taking them to get a haircut.
Portland police said the children were subjected to a campaign of abuse.
“The children have suffered emotional, physical, and sexual abuse and all were subjected to a campaign of abuse and exploitation by Weinberg and were not protected by the statutes of limitations,” police said in the affidavit.
