The Oscar-winning composer and director behind the incredible “You Light Up My Life” has been charged with a few small crimes.. Its been alleged that he raped 11 women he lured to his apartment with the promise of a starring role in a movie, prosecutors said at his arraignment Tuesday.

The women read an online ad placed by the director, Joseph Brooks, applied for the audition “and thought this was their chance to become a big star,” prosecutor Lisa Friel said.

Instead, once the women were in Brooks’ Manhattan apartment, he plied them with wine and forcibly raped them or used threats and coercive behavior to make them have sex with him, prosecutors said.

The scrawny Brooks, 71, denied the accusations. Today he was arraigned on a 91-count indictment charging him with rape, criminal sexual act, sexual abuse, assault and other charges.If he is convicted he will face a very very lonnng prison stretch
