A retired Big Apple financier who once had ties to George Soros was arrested Friday for allegedly sex-trafficking numerous women in a penthouse turned BDSM “sex dungeon,” federal prosecutors said.
Howard Rubin was picked up at his home in Fairfield, Ct,. on a 10-count indictment for “torturing women beyond their consent,” Brooklyn US Attorney Joseph Nocella charged in a statement.
The famed former money manager — known as “Howie” and “H” — is accused of abusing the victims first at a luxury New York City hotel and then later at a two-bedroom penthouse that he morphed into a dungeon filled with BDSM equipment between 2009 and 2019, prosecutors said.
His assistant, Jennifer Powers, is also facing charges of sex trafficking for allegedly helping him arrange the sickening conduct.
Rubin is a retired Wall Street high roller who has managed money for the Soros Fund and other wealthy clients.
He was set to be arraigned in Brooklyn Federal Court Friday afternoon.
A lawyer for Rubin did not immediately return a request for comment.
