An Oscar-winning composer who has been accused of raping women who answered ads he placed on Craigslist will turn himself in today, The Post has learned.
Joseph Brooks’ lawyer, Jeffrey Hoffman, said his client will give up to authorities, but would not comment any further.
Brooks, 71, who won an Academy Award for Debby Boone’s title song from the 1977 film “You Light Up My Life,” has been accused of six sexual assaults.
It wasn’t immediately known what the charges against him will be and how many counts he faces.
One of the women, former “American Idol” contestant Loretta Spruell, said Brooks lured her to his Upper East Side apartment, promising an audition for a film role, only to tear off her clothes and rape her.
Another woman filed a suit against the composer saying he drugged, beat, raped and sodomized her.
A third woman said she met Brooks at The Carlyle hotel in 2007 after responding to his ad looking for a personal assistant and he forced her to strip before raping her.
Hoffman has repeatedly denied those allegations.
