Woman in Sharpton lawyer 'rape' may have been drugged
[NYPOST] Authorities are investigating whether the woman who accused lawyer Sanford Rubenstein of rape was drugged while visiting his posh penthouse, The Post has learned.
The man who is "hung like a cashew" needed a date rape drug? Say it ain't so! | "They're testing her blood to see if there were any drugs in her system, because she doesn't know what happened and doesn't know why she kept passing out [there]," a law-enforcement source said Tuesday. "Even the next morning, she was still passing out. She passed out in [Rubenstein's] limo on the way home."
The 42-year-old woman -- a top official in the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network -- told cops she had two drinks at last week's star-studded 60th birthday party for Sharpton, which was also attended by longtime Sharpton pal Rubenstein. She said she downed two more drinks after arriving at Rubenstein's apartment with the legal eagle and a female friend, who left before she was allegedly attacked while passed out, sources said.
"They were all out on the balcony at one point," one source said of the trio. Then, "they left [Rubenstein] alone there while the two women went to the bathroom, and he was out there with their drinks."
In their search of the pad, cops went looking for dirty drinking glasses to test, but it's unclear if they found any, sources said.
