Sept. 11--Investigators are trying to find more potential victims after a wealthy Sherman Oaks man was charged with sexually assaulting three women.
Michael Bernback -- who once appeared on the Bravo TV show "Millionaire Matchmaker" and said his net worth was more than $8 million -- was charged Sept. 3 with eight felonies including forcible rape, rape of an unconscious person and administering a drug to commit rape, according to the Los Angeles County district attorney's office.
The 62-year-old also was charged with three misdemeanors for alleged possession of ecstasy, cocaine and GHB, prosecutors said. Prosecutors said Bernback "tied and bound" a woman during an alleged sexual assault.
According to the LAPD, detectives "believe there may be other unreported victims" and are asking members of the public to come forward.
Bernback was arrested Aug. 13 at his home in the 4200 block of Sunnyslope Avenue, police said. In KCBS-TV Channel 2 footage of the arrest, he is seen barefoot and donning a robe.
