An ex-Soros Fund Management manager has been indicted on federal sex trafficking and bank fraud charges after prosecutors accused him of luring women to his penthouse and luxury hotels, where he allegedly engaged in violent sexual abuse inside a soundproof “dungeon.”
70-year-old Howard Rubin was indicted alongside his assistant, 45-year-old Jennifer Powers. Prosecutors allege that Rubin ran a network between 2009 and 2019 that recruited women to engage in consensual arrangements for money, but instead subjected them to force and coercion.
Victims, many of whom were financially vulnerable, struggling with addiction, or had prior histories of sexual abuse, were allegedly pressured into signing nondisclosure agreements meant to silence them.
