Jennifer Powers, 45, appeared in Brooklyn federal court earlier this week to plead not guilty to charges of sex trafficking and transporting women in interstate commerce for sex acts with Rubin, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
"Jennifer Powers did not report any wages or income from employment," the indictment alleges.
Court documents reveal federal prosecutors' case against the couple, alleging the pair did not report any income from Jennifer Powers and only documented a gross income of $40,000 from Stephen Powers' disc jockey business in the tax years 2018 and 2019 combined.
Prosecutors now allege that, during the same time, Jennifer Powers played a key role in procuring women for Rubin to sexually abuse inside his Central Park penthouse in a soundproofed room referred to as "The Dungeon" from 2011 to 2019.
According to court documents, Rubin and Powers spent over $1 million recruiting women, some of whom had been previously sexually abused or suffered from addiction, to partake in paid sex acts that often went beyond the scope of their consent.
"The defendants allegedly exploited Rubin's status to ensnare their prospective victims and forced them to endure unthinkable physical trauma before silencing any outcries with threats of legal recourse," Christopher Raia, the FBI's assistant director for New York, said in a statement after the indictment was unsealed.
Rubin has pleaded not guilty and is being held without bail until his next court date on Oct. 20.
Jennifer Powers' attorney did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Fox News Digital was unable to immediately locate attorneys assigned to Rubin and Stephen Powers.
