Howard Rubin stopped for women allegedly sex trafficking in the penthouse “ sex dungeon ”: feds

A retired financier of Big Apple who had links with George Soros was arrested on Friday for the old Playboy models and other women of sex trafficking and other women in a penthouse that has become “sexual” of the BDSM, said federal prosecutors.

Howard Rubin, 70, was recovered from his home in Fairfield, CT,. On an act of 10 counts to “torture women beyond their consent”, the American lawyer of Brooklyn, Joseph Nocella, accused a press release.

The famous former money official – known as “Howie” and “H” – is accused of first abused victims in a luxury hotel in New York, then later in a two -chamber penthouse that he transformed into a dungeon filled with BDSM equipment between 2009 and 2019, prosecutors said.

One of the rooms was soundproofed and painted in red, and had a device that had been used to shock or electrocute women, said the federalum.

Rubin also had a reserve of non-disclosure agreements which he kept in a safe that he forced women to sign, according to the office of the American prosecutor.

Her personal assistant, Jennifer Powers, 45, also faced accusations of sex trafficking for having pretended to help organize disgusting driving. She was arrested on Friday morning in Texas.

She would have helped to recruit and pilot victims – often of former Playboy models – in New York to have sex with Rubin, according to a letter of detention written by the federals.

After the sexual meetings, Rubin or Powers would have paid the victims by bank transfer or Paypal and Venmo, but would have downgraded payments to avoid sending $ 10,000 in a single blow, allowing them to stay under the radar, according to the prosecutors.

Overall, it is estimated that at least $ 1 million in Rubin money was spent on alleged sex trafficking.

Rubin is a retired roll of Wall Street that has managed money for the Soros fund and other rich customers.

Friday afternoon, he was to be brought to justice before the Federal Court of Brooklyn.

Rubin and the powers are both faced with accusations of sexual traffic and transport of women in interstate trade for sexual acts.

Rubin was also struck by an accusation of federal banking fraud for having allegedly offered false declarations made to a bank while funding the mortgage of powers for a house in Texas that she shared with her husband.

“As claims, the defendants used Rubin’s richness to induce and recruit women to engage in commercial sexual acts, where Rubin then tortured women beyond their consent, causing sustainable physical and / or psychological pain, in certain cases of physical injuries,” said Nocella.

A Rubin lawyer did not immediately return a request for comments.
