He's been a loud, inescapable and expensive adversary of the New York Police Department for years: the publicity-loving lawyer who got huge settlements, and headlines, in some of the city's most notorious brutality cases.

Now Sanford Rubenstein is getting unwelcome attention as a potential rape suspect. --snip-- A member of Sharpton's National Action Network has accused the 70-year-old attorney of sexually assaulting her at his luxury apartment after Sharpton's 60th birthday party

Updated article on the Rubenstein investigation.
He is a caricature of a sleazy slip and fall lawyer. (Tawana Brawley could not be reached for comment.)

I’v always thought this sleazebag lawyer was a POS. Like other radical lawyers, William Kuntsler, Gloria Allred, Morris Dees, he really doesn’t have much of a winning record. I wouldn’t want him representing me if I had to so much as go to court over a parking ticket.

Since Rubenstein is a DemocRAT, a sex assault charge is a Clintonesque resume enhancer.

A “Flashy” Lawyer, huh? I wouldn’t put it past him.
Anyone in Al Sharpton’s inner circle has by necessity, got to be rotten. At the bottom of his business card is the line; “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap!”

Overdressed, overpaid, ambulance-chasing demagogue will be going up the river. I just wonder how he managed to piss off Al Sharpton (because, y’know, c’mon, who takes allegations by the Sharpton cadre seriously?).

The accompanying photo is from 2006, shows ex Playmate Stephanie Adams — an avowed lesbian — speaking at a presser regarding the lawsuit against the NYPD. I wonder that she didn’t see the arrest in advance using her psychic powers.

from that link, which is very interesting overall:

> Rubenstein is accused of raping a 42-year-old woman — a top aide to Sharpton — while she was passed out drunk in his apartment early Thursday.
