Last year, 72-year-old songwriter, film director and one-time Oscar winner (for penning "You Light Up My Life"), Joseph Brooks was charged with a 91-count indictment after luring girls to his apartment via Craigslist ads. He conned many into taking cross country trips to his casting couch, with promises of stardom and a part in his next movie. Except there was no movie, and when the young girls would arrive he would allegedly sexually assault and rape them.
Today the NY Post reports that Brooks was charged with two more rape cases yesterday, bringing the overall tally up to 13. Prosecutors want to hike up his bail so he's unable to flee justice — which they fear he may do with his "hidden millions." His defense lawyer, however, says "There would be no way in the world for him to run away considering his physical condition, his age and his accounts."
