Retired money manager Howard Rubin and a former personal assistant were arrested Friday on charges of sex trafficking and other counts over the course of a decade, federal prosecutors said.
Under an indictment unsealed on Friday, Rubin is accused of using his “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,” U.S Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Joseph Nocella Jr. said in a statement.
