Adimey, partner at Gair, Gair, Conason, Rubinowitz, Bloom, Hershenhorn, Steigman & Mackauf, showed that the most powerful evidence isn’t just expert testimony—it’s the story jurors can see for themselves.

Federal prosecutors have charged Howard Rubin, a retired New York City financier with sex trafficking, transportation of women across state lines for sexual purposes, and bank fraud. The indictment alleges that Rubin used his significant wealth and influence to lure dozens of women—many of them former Playboy models—into what appeared to be high-paying arrangements, only for them to suffer violent assaults in a Midtown penthouse prosecutors describe as a “sex dungeon.”

Prosecutors allege that many of the victims were financially vulnerable and were given drugs or alcohol before the assaults.
