Top civil rights lawyer accused of raping woman at his Manhattan home after Rev Al Sharpton's star-studded 60th birthday party

[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] A top civil rights lawyer has been accused of raping a woman at his Manhattan home after Rev civil rights hustler Al Sharpton
...Tawana Brawley's spiritual advisor...
's star-studded 60th birthday party.

Sanford Rubenstein, 70, a high-powered attorney in New York, is said to have sexually assaulted the victim at his luxury apartment after the event at the four-star Four Seasons restaurant earlier this week, according to the New York Daily News.

Sources told the paper the rape of the woman, who is believed to be a 42-year-old executive with links to Sharpton, is being investigated as third degree.

The charge is brought when the victim is 'incapable of consent', which means she could have passed out or was very drunk at the time.
If this had happened at New York University Mr. Rubenstein would already be convicted and expelled from class...
However Rubenstein, who has appeared as a legal analyst on CNN and MSNB, is yet to have been charged in connection with the encounter.

#5  An Al Sharpton bobblehead would be redundant

#4  Which side of the fence is Al Sharton going to be on; The Rubenstein side or the victim's side? Will Sharpton try to turn Rubenstein into a victim? Reubenstein didn't get enough birthday presents? Inquiring minds want to know (well, maybe not). Maybe this was a shakedown? This 70 year guy certainly has a lively libido. If this is true, the guy should be called "Sap"-erstein.

#3  One Eyed, he used to be really fat. He did something to lose a lot of weight. That is why he looks like death warmed over.

#1  Someone correct me if I'm mistaken, but I don't recall the original movie including any luxury apartments or Rubensteins.
