A music executive busted Sunday for sexually assaulting a neighbor in Battery Park City and stealing her panties — was slapped in cuffs again Friday for an earlier crime against her roommate.
Adam Lublin, 43, was first arraigned Monday in Manhattan Criminal Court on the original case then freed on bail. That’s when the first complainant’s roommate came forward and alleged that he’d also molested her, according to court records.
Lublin was arraigned on the new case Friday on burglary and sexual abuse charges. He allegedly sneaked into the neighbor’s room at 5 a.m. on Sept. 8, inside the luxury River Terrace building where they both live, and groped her.
“[The victim] was asleep in her apartment and woke up when she felt the defendant touching her breast with his hand and placing her hand on his groin,” according to court papers.
Judge Anne Swern ordered Lublin held on $100,000 bond, which his lawyer Scott Leemon said he’d post immediately. He added that his client intended to enroll in a treatment program.
Lublin was first arrested last Sunday for molesting the initial complainant Sept. 14 inside the same apartment.
“The victim went to bed in her apartment, didn’t lock her apartment door and awoke around 5 a.m. to a white man with dark hair, heavyset, leaning over her bed and touching her vagina,” Assistant DA Elizabeth Clerkin told the judge during last Monday’s arraignment.
The creep fled and the woman reviewed surveillance footage and spotted him stepping off the elevator onto her floor.
The doorman identified him as another tenant. When police caught up to him the next day a few blocks from the building, they saw him toss a cup with a flamingo straw into the trash. They retrieved it and found several pairs of panties stuffed inside.
The initial victim identified the straw and underwear as hers and said they had vanished from her apartment. He was released on $175,000 bond on the first case.
A few days later, the second victim came forward and told authorities that Lublin had also sexually assaulted her.
Lublin worked as a talent buyer and VP for AEG for nearly a decade, according to Billboard.com.
He went on to work for First Access Entertainment in 2017, a music and talent management company run in partnership with Warner Music Group owner Len Blavatnik.
The company didn’t immediately return a request for comment. After Lublin’s first arrest, he told billboard.com, “I am broken.” He added, “If I don’t get help, I’m going to end up killing myself.”
Leemon said “there’s nothing new here,” in regard to the new charges.
He’s due back in court on Oct. 16.
