Faivish Pewzner
An ex-employee of a Brooklyn health care company says he was
sexually harassed and abused by a top male executive who is an Orthodox Jew but
leads a double-life as a pot-smoking, hooker-happy, casino high roller,
according to a lawsuit.
Mendel Cohen was once a $95,000-a-year supervisor of patient
relations at Americare until he was fired allegedly for complaining about the
abuse he was subjected to by the chief operating officer, Faivish Pewzner, a
married father of five.
Cohen’s suit, filed in Brooklyn Federal Court, is filled
with sordid allegations that stand in stark contrast to Pewzner’s public
reputation as a charitable pillar of the Jewish community.
“Plaintiff was the victim of repeated harassment and assault
at the hands of Pewzner, a pervert who used his position at Americare to harass
and intimidate its employees,” the complaint contends.
Cohen accompanied Pewzner, 57, on road trips to Atlantic
City where the company executive “binged on gambling, illegal drugs and illicit
sex,” according to the complaint.
In the summer of 2008, Pewzner allegedly asked Cohen to
arrange for female escorts to come to his “high-roller” suite at the Borgata
for a sexual tryst and again during a three-day trip in December 2008, the suit
says.
