Retired financier Howard Rubin was arrested Friday on sex trafficking charges for allegedly trafficking dozens of women, including former Playboy models, to be sexually and physically assaulted during encounters in his Central Park penthouse in a soundproofed room described in court papers as “The Dungeon.”

Authorities announced the arrest of Rubin and his former personal assistant, Jennifer Powers, on charges in an indictment unsealed in Brooklyn federal court.

Rubin, 70, was arrested Friday at his rental home in Fairfield, Connecticut, while Powers, 45, was arrested at her home in Southlake, Texas, authorities said. The DOJ said Rubin was expected to be arraigned on Friday and Powers will make her first appearance in court on Monday.
