A retired New York City financier once known as the \u201cright-hand man\u201d of billionaire George Soros has been indicted on charges of abusing women.<\/p>\n
According to the\u00a0New York Post<\/p>\n
, Howard Rubin, 70, allegedly used his Manhattan penthouse as a \u201csecret sex dungeon\u201d at the center of the case.<\/p>\n
In a statement released Thursday, the Justice Department said Rubin and his assistant, Jennifer Powers, have been charged with trafficking and transporting women across state lines for sexual encounters with Rubin.A bank fraud charge was lodged against Rubin \u201cin connection with misrepresentations made to a bank in the course of financing Powers\u2019s mortgage for the Texas home of Powers and her husband,\u201d according to the\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is in this secret sex dungeon that Rubin, now 66, is accused of having committed\u00a0violent acts and sexual assault against a number of women, including actual Playboy playmates. A civil trial, with six of his seven alleged victims seeking at least $18 million, is scheduled for November,\u201d The Post reported.<\/p>\n
Among other alleged acts of deprivation, The Post reported that Rubin has been accused of \u201cbeat[ing a woman\u2019s] breasts so badly that her right implant flipped\u201d \u2014 an injury so severe that, according to court documents, her \u201cplastic surgeon was not even willing to operate on her breasts.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prosecutors allege Rubin paid women up to $5,000 for BDSM encounters. However, several women contend they never consented to the level of violence and humiliation they say he carried out during those sessions.<\/p>\n
Another plaintiff claims that, while Rubin allegedly had her bound in his \u2018dungeon,\u2019 he told her \u201cI\u2019m going to rape you like I rape my daughter\u201d and then, according to the complaint, forced sex on her against her will.<\/p>\n
\u201cRubin has three children with his estranged wife, including at least one daughter,\u201d The Post added.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought he was a nice guy. He was a nebbishy Jewish guy and totally normal. I was surprised to hear about him having that apartment [with a sex dungeon],\u201d a trader who worked with Rubin at Soros Fund Management, created by billionaire investor George Soros, told The Post.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs alleged, the defendants used Rubin\u2019s wealth to mislead and recruit women to engage in commercial sex acts, where Rubin then tortured women beyond their consent, causing lasting physical and\/or psychological pain, and in some cases physical injuries,\u201d Joseph Nocella Jr., United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York said in the DOJ release.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday\u2019s arrests show that no one who engages in sex trafficking, in this case in luxury hotels and a penthouse apartment that featured a so-called sex \u2018dungeon,\u2019 is above the law, and that they will be brought to justice. Human beings are not chattel to be exploited for sex and sadistically abused, and anyone who thinks otherwise can expect to find themselves in handcuffs and facing federal prosecution like these defendants,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor many years, Howard Rubin and Jennifer Powers allegedly spent at least one million dollars to finance the commercial sexual torture of multiple women via a national trafficking network. The defendants allegedly exploited Rubin\u2019s status to ensnare their prospective victims and forced them to endure unthinkable physical trauma before silencing any outcries with threats of legal recourse,\u201d stated FBI Assistant Director in Charge Christopher G. Raia.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe FBI will continue to apprehend any trafficker who sexually abuses others for twisted gratification,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was not a one-man show. While Rubin dehumanized these women with abhorrent sexual acts, Powers is alleged to have run the day-to-day operations of the enterprise and got paid generously for her efforts,\u201d said Harry T. Chavis, Jr., IRS investigative special agent in charge.<\/p>\n
Eight-year-old Liam Parker dashed across the grocery store parking lot, backpack bouncing against his shoulders. He was late for school. Mrs. Grant had warned him the day before: one more tardy, and she would call his parents. Liam dreaded that call almost as much as the look on his father\u2019s face.<\/p>\n
Halfway across the lot, Liam froze. Sun beat down on a silver sedan. Inside, a baby sat strapped in a car seat. Its tiny fists flailed weakly, face red, cheeks streaked with tears. The glass was rolled up tight. Sweat glistened on the child\u2019s forehead. The lot was nearly empty.<\/p>\n
Liam\u2019s stomach turned. Heat could kill faster than anyone imagined. He dropped his backpack, ran to the car, and yanked at every handle. Locked. He tapped on the glass. No one appeared.<\/p>\n
His eyes landed on a jagged rock near the curb. Heavy and rough, but perfect. Liam lifted it, whispered, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, Mister Car,\u201d and swung. The first strike cracked the glass. The second widened it. By the third, shards rained onto the pavement.<\/p>\n
Careful, he reached inside, unbuckled the straps, and lifted the baby out. Clammy skin pressed to his shirt. He rocked the child instinctively. \u201cIt\u2019s okay. You\u2019re safe now,\u201d he whispered.<\/p>\n
A scream pierced the lot. \u201cWhat are you doing to my car?!\u201d<\/p>\n
A woman ran toward him, groceries spilling, eyes wide with panic. Her gaze shifted to the baby in Liam\u2019s arms. Her color drained. \u201cOh my God\u2026\u201d she gasped, dropping her groceries. She hugged the child, kissed the sweaty forehead, tears streaking her cheeks. \u201cThank you. Thank you,\u201d she whispered.<\/p>\n
The school bell rang. Liam\u2019s heart sank. He bolted, leaving the shattered car behind.<\/p>\n
He arrived in class minutes later, chest heaving, hair plastered with sweat, hands cut from glass. Mrs. Grant\u2019s eyes narrowed. \u201cLiam Parker, you\u2019re late. Again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Liam froze. How could he explain? Who would believe he had smashed a stranger\u2019s car window to save a baby?<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry, Mrs. Grant,\u201d he whispered.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s it,\u201d she snapped. \u201cWe\u2019ll call your parents.\u201d<\/p>\n
The class giggled. Liam\u2019s cheeks burned. He stared at his scraped hands, wondering if he\u2019d made a mistake.<\/p>\n
At recess, kids teased him or ignored him. Liam thought only of the baby\u2019s flushed face. He would do it again, no matter the trouble.<\/p>\n
That afternoon, just before dismissal, the classroom door opened. The woman from the parking lot entered, cradling her now-rested baby.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis little boy saved my child\u2019s life today,\u201d she said, voice shaking. \u201cI left him in the car thinking I\u2019d be quick. Liam had already broken the window and pulled him out. If not for him\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
The room fell silent. Eyes swung to Liam. His face flushed again, but this time with pride.<\/p>\n
Mrs. Grant knelt beside him, hand on his shoulder. \u201cYou didn\u2019t just save a baby. You reminded us what real courage looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n
The class erupted in applause. Some shouted, \u201cHero!\u201d The woman kissed Liam\u2019s forehead. \u201cYou\u2019ll always be part of our family\u2019s story,\u201d she whispered.<\/p>\n
That evening, his parents got the call. Not about detention. Not about tardiness. About pride. They hugged him tight, telling him how proud they were.<\/p>\n
Liam went to bed with a new understanding. Doing the right thing doesn\u2019t always bring immediate praise. Sometimes it brings misunderstanding. But the truth always finds its way. And for Liam Parker, a boy who thought he was always late, he had been exactly on time when it mattered most.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
