Former Soros Financier Howard Rubin Charged With Sex-Trafficking

  • Howard Rubin, a 70-year-old ex-manager at the Soros Fund, was taken into federal custody on Friday at his Fairfield, Connecticut residence on charges related to sex trafficking.
  • The charges relate to a scheme spanning from at least 2009 to 2019, in which Rubin and his former assistant Jennifer Powers enlisted numerous women to participate in paid sexual encounters in New York.
  • Prosecutors allege Rubin paid women up to $5,000 per encounter and abused them beyond their consent in a Central Park penthouse that contained a soundproofed sex dungeon managed by Powers.
  • FBI Assistant Director Christopher Raia stated the defendants spent more than $1 million to finance a national trafficking network causing severe physical trauma and silencing victims with legal threats.
  • Rubin and Powers face mandatory minimum sentences of 15 years if convicted, and prosecutors stress that no one involved in sex trafficking, regardless of status, is above the law.
