first sex in order to rent a home as
[2]
part of an ongoing federal trial now 13
[4]
Chief investigator Darcy Spears has the
[7]
bizarre story of a property manager who
[9]
required his tenant to sign a sex
[11]
contract and is now facing allegations
[13]
of discrimination harassment and fraud
[16]
Darcy what is this all about well you
[18]
guys it's actually hard to Fathom that
[20]
someone would put something like this in
[21]
writing we've had to cover some of the
[23]
words because we can't show them on TV
[25]
but here it is in black and white it's
[28]
so crazy I didn't believe it until I saw
[30]
it in the court record
[33]
this is Alan Rothstein the man who wrote
[35]
the sex contract court records show he
[38]
forced a prospective tenant to sign it
[40]
in November 2018 in order to rent this
[43]
four-bedroom home on wedgebrook Street
[45]
near Las Vegas Boulevard and Saint Rose
[47]
Parkway at the time Rothstein was the
[50]
property manager and also a real estate
[52]
broker he lost both licenses after a
[55]
Nevada real estate division
[56]
investigation he now stands to lose a
[59]
lot more if a federal judge finds him
[61]
guilty he's currently on trial for
[64]
violations of the fair housing act and
[66]
this lawsuit filed by his former tenant
[68]
and the facts are unlike anything this
[71]
experienced housing lawyer has ever seen
[73]
my reaction was you had to be putting me
[76]
on that nobody in their right mind would
[79]
go to the trouble to drop a contract
[81]
like this no one involved would talk to
[83]
us as the trial is ongoing we asked
[86]
legal expert Bruce flammy to analyze the
[88]
case have you ever seen anything like
[90]
this no not even on bar exams in law
[92]
school nobody has ever put something
[94]
like this together that I've ever seen
[96]
although in all Candor I think there's
[99]
more of these out there sources close to
[101]
the case tell 13 investigates this is
[103]
not the first time Rothstein has done
[105]
this and there are other victims
[107]
Rothstein himself admitted to the real
[109]
estate division that he wrote the sex
[111]
contract and required the tenant to sign
[114]
it and in court records he says any
[116]
agreements or documents mentioned speak
[119]
for themselves when somebody says The
[121]
Document Speaks For Itself what they're
[122]
really saying is I don't want to talk
[124]
about it we're talking about it to the
[126]
extent that we can we'll begin with the
[128]
title it's direct consent for sexual
[131]
intercourse and or
[133]
or switches and italics who names a
[137]
document that it goes on to say please
[140]
read this legal contract carefully and
[143]
that's where I started laughing because
[144]
this is a legal contract the way the
[147]
actors on Gray's Anatomy are real
[149]
doctors okay this is literally not worth
[152]
the paper it's printed on the term the
[154]
terms of the so-called contract are even
[156]
crazier than the title the tenant had to
[159]
swear she wasn't signing under the
[161]
influence of any intoxicant including
[163]
alcohol drugs oysters truffles
[167]
sea cucumber strawberries Lobster I've
[170]
never known anybody to be under the
[171]
influence of lobster dark chocolate
[173]
cocaine LSD and cannabis I don't know
[177]
where you get a list like that another
[178]
paragraph says the tenant swears she
[181]
does not currently have a boyfriend
[182]
girlfriend or parent who is larger
[185]
meaner and more physically aggressive
[188]
owns firearms and or is more possessive
[191]
than Rothstein she was told if she
[193]
didn't sign this she was not going to be
[195]
able to get the unit so in all for all
[197]
intents and purposes it's exactly sex
[200]
for a place to live it's exactly what it
[202]
is and it's almost Sex On Demand what do
[204]
we make of the fact that she initialed
[206]
this thing nothing people sign things
[209]
all the time and the popular myth is
[211]
well you signed it so it's binding yeah
[213]
there are a variety of things you can
[216]
sign that are not binding any contract
[219]
that is against the law or public policy
[222]
is not binding so why would anyone sign
[225]
anything like this court documents say
[228]
in August 2018 the tenant and her five
[231]
children were homeless living from week
[233]
to week in a residential Hotel the
[236]
Southern Nevada Regional Housing
[237]
Authority threw them a Lifeline
[239]
approving them for Section 8 a federal
[241]
program that funds local public housing
[244]
authorities to help low-income families
[246]
rent from private landlords but one of
[249]
the provisions of Section 8 is that once
[251]
you're approved you have to find a
[253]
residence that will be covered by the
[254]
program within about 60 days of when
[257]
you're approved now depending on where
[259]
she was in that 60-day window when this
[261]
thing came up she may not have had other
[264]
options court records say she'd been
[266]
allowed to move in and paid out of
[268]
pocket to fix up the house so HUD would
[271]
approve it so when you slap this
[272]
document down in front of her and say
[274]
sign this or you have no place to live
[276]
that's coercion that's duress and I
[279]
believe it's a violation of federal law
[280]
the tenants lawsuit alleges several
[282]
other violations including charging
[285]
illegal fees and wrongful eviction after
[288]
she refused any sexual encounters in
[291]
court records Rothstein disputes any
[294]
fair housing violations attorney philami
[297]
says no matter the outcome of the Civil
[299]
Trial accountability shouldn't stop
[302]
there there may or may not have been
[304]
crimes committed here the word extortion
[306]
flashes in my mind in this kind of
[309]
situation but that's not what this trial
[311]
is about that's going on in federal
[312]
court right now
[314]
but this is a good example of a case
[316]
where maybe somebody ought to go to jail
[319]
when the real estate division revoked
[321]
rothstein's licenses State investigators
[324]
found he listed a fake address for his
[326]
brokerage the state also found he
[328]
repeatedly made unwanted sexual advances
[331]
when he had the tenant come to his home
[333]
to sign documents he was fined ninety
[336]
four thousand dollars in that and we
[338]
will update this story with the outcome
[340]
of the federal case this is absolutely
[343]
wild Darcy but you know you kept
[345]
mentioning a property manager was there
[346]
any landlord that was involved in this
[348]
well he was the landlord but there was
[350]
also a home owner the homeowner
[353]
contracted with Rothstein as the
[355]
property manager to execute the lease
[357]
he's the only one who met with the
[359]
tenant the homeowner was originally
[361]
named in the lawsuit but then was later
[362]
dropped from it and we should mention
[364]
that the homeowner who has since sold
[366]
the home is the one who filed the
[368]
complaint with the real estate division
[370]
in 2020 which led to rosting losing his
[373]
licenses so that he can't continue doing
[374]
this yeah
