She immediately reported what the defendant did to that friend and told others in the days that followed. The incident was also investigated by HR.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe complaining witness woke up when she felt the defendant\u2019s fingers inside her vagina,\u201d Assistant DA Ryan Hayward said, according to the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2019\/11\/04\/panty-stealing-music-exec-busted-on-charges-related-to-a-new-victim\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">New York Post<\/a><\/em>.

Lublin allegedly snuck into a neighbor\u2019s apartment in the building where they both lived, groping her while she slept, then stealing her underwear and a straw with a flamingo print on it. The next day, police spotted Lublin near the building, throwing away a cup with a pink straw stuffed with panties that the victim later identified as hers.<\/p>\n<p>Following his initial arrest, Lublin\u2019s lawyer, Scott Leemon, released a statement saying, \u201cOne of the backbones in our legal system is the presumption of innocence. That important presumption is deep-rooted in our history and was created to stop others from jumping to conclusions. Today, Adam will rely on that presumption of innocence.\u201d Leemon referred <em>Rolling Stone<\/em> to the same comment when reached for comment on Monday following the new charge.<\/p>\n<p>After his initial arrest, Lublin was released on $175,000 bond, but was picked up again just a few days later after the first victim\u2019s roommate also accused Lublin of assaulting her. According to a court transcript from Lublin\u2019s second arraignment, the district attorney\u2019s office told the judge that the victim \u201cawoke to find a man in her bed touching her breasts and put her hand on his groin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Monday\u2019s bail application document related to the first two alleged assaults, the D.A.\u2019s office noted that \u201ca forensic search of the defendant\u2019s phone showed that the defendant searched for both Complaining Witnesses \u2014 strangers to him \u2014 by name, the defendant searched for pornography and erotica depicting unconscious women being sexually touched, and in fact the defendant took photographs while inside the Complaining Witnesses\u2019 apartment on two separate occasions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the second arrest, Lublin was charged with a second count of sexual abuse, as well as a second-degree charge of burglary and a second-degree charge of burglary as a sexually motivated felony.<\/p>\n<p>Lublin faces up to 37 years in prison if convicted on all charges.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/adam-lublin-indicted-third-sexual-abuse-charge-908022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adam Lublin, the former executive for touring behemoth AEG and onetime manager of Young Thug and Kodak Black, was indicted on Monday on a third count of first-degree sexual abuse stemming from an alleged 2015 sexual assault on an unnamed AEG co-worker. \u201cWith respect to the November 22nd, 2015 incident, the defendant sexually assaulted a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-491861","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-music-news"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-22 06:20:45","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KQZR - The Reel","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491861","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=491861"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491861\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=491861"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=491861"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=491861"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
