Rev. Al Sharpton accused the source who leaked the detail of trying to embarrass him with a smear campaign and saying he would demand an investigation.

"If the motive of the cop was to embarrass me, at 60 years old, I am unembarrassable,” fumed Sharpton, whose longstanding animosity with the NYPD has reached a fever pitch because of his vocal opposition to stop-and-frisk and close relationship to Mayor de Blasio. The tensions got even worse recently with the execution of two cops who were shot while on duty.

But Rubenstein’s legal problems aren’t over: lawyers for his accuser immediately filed a civil suit against him in Brooklyn Supreme Court.
The suit says the woman was the subject of a “violent, perverted and cruel attack by Defendant Sanford Rubenstein” while she was "unconscious and thus unable to give consent.”
He “willfully and intentionally degraded, humiliated and violated her,” the lawsuit claims.
The long-awaited DA’s decision came three months afterthe headline-making allegations against Rubensteinwere first alleged.
Rubenstein, 70, was accused of raping a top official in the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network following a 60th birthday party for the longtime activist.

Rubenstein’s camp said the woman's claims were undermined by video surveillance evidence from the lobby and elevator of Rubenstein's apartment building, sources said. She did not appear intoxicated when she arrived and they passionately kissed and embraced in the elevator on the way up to his swanky pad.
The defense camp claimed that the sex was consensual, and that the two had sex again that morning before the woman headed home.
