72-YEAR-OLD ATTORNEY IS SENTENCED TO A COUNSELING PROGRAM FOR SEX OFFENDERS FOR GRABBING THE BUTTOCKS OF A 34-YEAR-OLD FEMALE ATTORNEY IN FAMILY COURT
Bronx District Attorney Robert T. Johnson announced today that a 72-year-old lawyer was found guilty of sexually abusing a 34-year-old female Law Guardian last August during an appearance in Family Court.
Robert Kahn, of the Bronx, was found guilty on one count of Sexual Abuse in the 3rd degree, a Class B misdemeanor offense and one count of Harassment in the 2nd, a violation of the New York State Penal Law, following a non-jury trial before Acting State Supreme Court Justice James Kindler.
Kahn was given a Conditional Discharge and sentenced to attend a counseling program for sex offenders.
The incident occurred on August 18, 2008 in Part 3 at Family Court at 200 Sheridan Avenue.
According to court papers, Kahn placed his hand on the victim’s buttocks, “cupping the left side of her buttocks” without her consent, causing her to suffer annoyance and alarm. The unwanted physical contact occurred when the victim leaned over to retrieve a file from her briefcase.
In addition to testimony directly related to the incident of August 18, 2008, the evidence included a decision by the Departmental Disciplinary Committee for the First Judicial Department suspending Kahn from the practice of law for six months effective April 8, 2005.
Kahn was suspended after a hearing into charges that he had engaged in “a pattern of misconduct involving sexually oriented or other offensive comments directed at female attorneys, in violation of the Code of Professional Responsibility.”
Assistant District Attorney Danielle Pascale of the Child Abuse/Sex Offense Bureau prosecuted the case.
