<\/div>\n

A former touring executive for industry juggernaut AEG and hip-hop manager was charged with a second count of sexual abuse and burglary, one week after he was arraigned on a separate sexual abuse accusation.<\/p>\n

An NYPD rep confirmed to Rolling Stone<\/em> that Adam Lublin was arrested and charged on Friday for the separate incident. \u201cA 23-year-old female victim stated to police that the suspect entered her apartment and sexually assaulted her,\u201d the rep wrote.<\/p>\n

Lublin was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on Friday on a second-degree charge of burglary and a second-degree charge of burglary as a sexually motivated felony. \u201cOn September 8th, the complaining witness awoke to find a man in her bed touching her breasts and put her hand on his groin,\u201d The D.A.\u2019s office told the judge, according to a court transcript. \u201cShe confronted the defendant and he left the apartment and she locked the door.\u201d<\/p>\n

The latest charges stem from an incident that occurred one week before Lublin allegedly assaulted the victim\u2019s roommate, a case that led to his original arrest. In that case, as first reported by the New York Post<\/a><\/em>, the unnamed 23-year-old victim claimed that she \u201cawoke at around 5:00 a.m. to a white man with dark hair, heavy set, leaning over her bed and touching her vagina,\u201d according to court transcripts. She later identified the man as Lublin.<\/p>\n

Police arrested Lublin the day after the alleged second assault. \u201c[Police officers] also saw the defendant throw an object into a trash can on the street corner. When they looked into the trash can, it was a cup full of panties and a straw that had a flamingo print on it,\u201d the D.A.\u2019s office told a judge on Monday. \u201cThe victim happened to be in the area a short time after and looked in the trash can and said that those were her underwear as well as the straw that was taken from her apartment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the backbones in our legal system is the presumption of innocence,\u201d Lublin\u2019s attorney, Scott Leemon, said in a statement following Lublin\u2019s arrest. \u201cThat 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<\/p>\n

When reached for comment on the new charges, Leemon told Rolling Stone,<\/em> \u201cThere is nothing new here. These were the same allegations that were mentioned in court Monday. Not a surprise at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lublin worked as a Senior Vice President of Talent and Touring, per Pollstar, before leaving the company in 2017. He has held a variety of positions since then, most notably as a consultant for First Access Entertainment \u2013 the company said they have terminated all dealings with Lublin following his arrest \u2013 and as manager of rappers Kodak Black, Smokepurpp and Young Thug.<\/p>\n

A rep for Smokepurpp confirmed to Rolling Stone <\/em>that Lublin no longer managed the rapper. Young Thug and Lublin parted ways earlier this year. A rep for Young Thug declined to comment. Reps for AEG and Kodak Black did not immediately reply to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

Lublin himself said he was \u201cbroken\u201d after the arrest, claiming he had a substance abuse problem that requires treatment. \u201cI\u2019ve known I\u2019ve needed to go [to rehab] for a while and I just haven\u2019t,\u201d he told Billboard<\/em><\/a> earlier this week. \u201cNow it\u2019s not even a choice. I must go.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been very hard for my family,\u201d he added. \u201cMy closest friends have asked me, \u2018What can we do to help, man?\u2019 and I don\u2019t even want to talk to people because I feel so fucked up. I\u2019m just trying not to completely break because I\u2019m already there.\u201d<\/p>\n

In court on Friday, Leemon reiterated to the judge that Lublin would be starting a 30-day rehab program on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Lublin was released on the new charges on $100,000 bond.<\/p>\n
