The songwriter would allegedly invite woman to New York for audition, use date rape drugs in the wine he offered them, and then sexually abuse them. Brooks claims not guilty and is due back in court on Thursday, June 25 for his trial.
The lead for this story follows all the rules. It catches your attention right away because the first thing is "Oscar-winning songwriter" which pulls the reader in out of interest for celebrities. The lead then goes on to point out the unusual way in which the songwriter what select his sexual victims, a good way to keep people interested because it's not just another rape story.
