New York Landlord Allegedly Tried to Rape Potential Tenant
"When Waterbury picked the woman up, instead of driving to a residence, he allegedly drove to an unoccupied commercial building in the town of Scriba. At the empty building, Waterbury exposed himself and demanded oral sex from the woman, according to police. After the woman refused, Waterbury allegedly tried to bribe her into performing oral sex in exchange for money."
"After she pursued criminal charges against Waterbury, Oswego County prosecutors said Waterbury tried to offer her money again so the charges could go away. State police arrested Waterbury on March 3 after he was indicted on criminal charges stemming from the June incident. He is charged with attempted bribing a witness, attempted third-degree rape, and third-degree patronizing a person for prostitution."
"Waterbury was previously accused of sexually harassing several female tenants and potential tenants in Oswego and the surrounding area for nearly 30 years in two Fair Housing Act lawsuits filed against him."
