Rev. Sharpton cut ties with famed attorney accused of rape

NEW YORK (PIX11) Rev. Al Sharpton is not waiting for the courts to decide: Attorney Sanford Rubenstein is now out of the Network.

It was just a week ago famed civil right attorney Rubenstein was part of Sharptons inner circle helping him celebrate his 60th birthday party.

This morning he is out in the cold and Sharpton is letting him have it in the press.

Even if it was consensual, why would he take a key leader of our organization back to his apartment right after a fund-raiser, Al Sharpton told the Daily News Tuesday. Its disrespectful to our movement, and the women in our network are absolutely outraged.

Rubenstein and Sharpton has been working on the Eric Garner case, with Rubenstein representing the family.

Sharpton plans to meet with Garners family Monday to see what they would like to do moving forward as investigators try to determine if any crime occurred.

A final decision will be made this weekend.

Sharpton said he isnt waiting for prosecutors to rule on Rubenstein.

When asked if he envisions a day when Rubenstein would be welcomed back. Reverend Sharpton said, He has no future.

The 42-year-old woman Rubenstein allegedly attacked was not just some name on our board, Sharpton added.
