Former American Idol contestant Loretta Spruell is one of the women who accused Oscar winning songwriter Joseph Brooks of using Craiglist to lure aspiring models and actresses to his Manhattan apartment with promises of parts in his next movie. The women claim they were doped or their drinks were spiked and then raped.

Joseph, who won an Academy Award for the ballad “You Light Up My Life,” was finally arrested on Tuesday (June 23) and charged with the sexual assault of 11 women. The first of the alleged assaults involved a 22 year-old woman who said she was sexually abused at the Carlyle Hotel in November 2006. Other assaults occurred in May 2007 and March 2008 in Joseph’s apartment.
