Judge denies bail to alleged sex dungeon' operator Howard Rubin for fifth time, says he can't be trusted | amNewYork
"U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan stated that his decision not an easy one but that he didn't trust that former Wall Street financier Howard Rubin would abide by the conditions of the $75 million package."
"Women have said Rubin convinced them to travel to New York to participate in BDSM sex, but he physically abused them beyond the bounds of BDSM after they asked him to stop."
"In one instance, he tied a woman up and hit her breasts for over an hour, leaving her with such severe scar tissue that surgeons couldn't operate on her to repair the damage for weeks."
"Rubin's attorney emphasized that the proposed bail package was so comprehensive it would make it hard to fathom Rubin would be able to escape house arrest."
Howard Rubin, facing charges of sex trafficking and bank fraud, will stay in jail after a federal judge denied his bail request for the fifth time. Judge Brian Cogan expressed distrust in Rubin's ability to adhere to bail conditions, despite proposals for house arrest and extensive security measures. Rubin has a history of abusing women in a sex dungeon, with severe allegations of physical violence. His attorney argued that the bail package was sufficient to prevent flight, but the judge remained unconvinced.
