A Manhattan prosecutor allegedly weaponized her powerful position by enlisting allies within the NYPD and the District Attorney's Office to have her estranged husband, a respected New York Times reporter, arrested.
Assistant District Attorney Amanda Goun masterminded a scheme to have award-winning health care journalist Joseph Goldstein arrested in a bitter custody war over their two young children, according to a federal lawsuit that reads like the plot of a legal thriller.
According to the searing 62-page federal complaint filed earlier this month, ADA Goun allegedly had Goldstein, her husband of seven years, falsely arrested on trumped-up felony assault and child endangerment charges in 2022 - in a calculated bid to seize full custody of their kids.
But the lawsuit goes even further, accusing Goun of not just deception, but corruption.
'Rather than resolve the family court proceedings through lawful and ethical means, Defendant Goun exploited her prosecutorial power and corrupted multiple law enforcement agencies to destroy her husband's life and career,' the lawsuit alleges.
The suit suggests she used her status within the Manhattan District Attorney's Office to pressure prosecutors and NYPD officers into pursuing charges that responding police initially deemed unwarranted.
'She didn't just abuse her power - she recruited others to help her do it,' the complaint declares. 'This was not just a divorce. It was a coordinated attack.'
The allegations detail a chilling timeline of betrayal and manipulation within both the couple's marriage and a legal system.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Goun sounds like a goon.
And, she's not even the worst Manhattan DA.
I have a solution for this.
a respected New York Times reporter
award-winning health care journalist
Did he stick to the party line about Covid and the 'vaccines'; or did he expose the truth?
Same here.
In the end both will blame Trump for their troubles.
A corrupt NY District Attorney married to a NY Times reporter. Sounds like a match made in.......
Not guilty!
Any such thing as a “RESPECTED” N.Y. times reported!!
Sounds like she belongs behind bars for a time.
Yeah, and for that matter, referring to a Manhattan DA as corrupt is superfluous at best. :^)
That's just the tip of the iceberg though.
The case is more fully — and humorously — covered by the redoubtable Scott Sharp of True Crime Loser. Here is his story about the case, well worth the time, IMHO:
Yup.
thx
a respected New York Times reporter.
Totally funny right there…..
Is it your belief that attractive women could not possibly be guilty? Does that hold true for attractive men?
“Hard to determine guilt or innocence”
Guilty, those front upper choppers can and probably have chewed through bone. There are Beavers in the wild jealous.
No, she looks like a crazy relative I have.
Guilty.
