“Police were investigating whether director Joseph Brooks, who won an Oscar for Best Original Song for the 1977 Debby Boone ballad You Light Up My Life, advertised upcoming film roles on Internet postings as a ploy to assault women. When a woman responded to an audition call, Brooks would tell her she’d be playing a prostitute and would have her drink shots and perform sex acts on him, police said. Some women believe they might have been drugged, police said.” [Link]
