A Brooklyn man who tried to bribe a witness in a high-profile sex abuse case was sent to four months in prison Friday despite impassioned pleas for a no-jail sentence.
Abraham Rubin, 50, had admitted he offered $500,000 to the husband of Nechemya Weberman’s victim to make the case go away — a plot that failed when his offer was rejected.
The hubby, Boorey Deutsch, “and his wife went through tremendous hardship because of the defendant’s actions,” said prosecutor Patricia McNeill.
Even though no money changed hands, the District Attorney’s office has consistently asked for six months in jail plus five-year probation – two months more than what the judge meted out.
