La policía había dicho previamente que varias mujeres acusaron a Joseph Brooks de haberlas atraído hasta su casa y atacado sexualmente mientras audicionaban para actuar en películas.

El fiscal de distrito de Manhattan Robert Morgenthau dijo que los cargos delictivos se discutirán en una conferencia de prensa el martes.

Brooks ganó el Oscar a la mejor canción original por la balada de 1977 "You Light Up My Life". También escribió y dirigió el filme homónimo sobre una comediante que pasa una noche de pasión con un director.

El abogado de Brooks, Jeff Hoffman, no respondió de inmediato una llamada en busca de comentarios.
