Polygamy is illegal in New York (with a punishment of up to five years in prison) as it is in most of the country—technically it's illegal in the entire country, but obviously it is tolerated in parts of Utah—but that doesn't mean there aren't polygamists living here. And one 27-year-old paralegal claims her former boss is one such polygamist—and she's suing him for sexual harassment for trying to convince her to become his "third wife."

Sabrina Rafi, 27, claims in the lawsuit that her boss, 50-year-old James R. Ray, bragged about having multiple wives and continually hit on her after she joined Ray and Associates firm in December. “At the beginning I laughed it off, [but] he became serious about it,” Rafi told The Post. “His expression changed from jovial to aggressive. I got pretty scared.”

Ray didn't sound very subtle about these attempts either, according to Rafi: “He was describing his sexual encounters with women. How he would say he met this woman at a club and she was from a Middle Eastern country,” Rafi said. “He said, ‘You’re from a middle eastern background too.’” HINT HINT HINT.

It all allegedly came to a head on January 15th, when Ray demanded Rafi go to dinner with him at Korea Palace on Park Street. Rafi claims Ray kept discussing lesbian porn (porn was “the key to a successful relationship”) while urging her to become his “third wife.” She told him she had a boyfriend, but he kept at it, and then came this bizarre scene with chopsticks:

“He said, ‘I’ll only eat it if you feed it to me.’ I was like, ‘What?’ …Honestly, I was like terrified at that point,” she said.

“I’m picking up the chopsticks and my hands are shaking. I think I dropped the shrimp at one point. I picked it up again with the chopsticks and then he opens his mouth and closes his eyes as if he was in love with me.

“It was humiliating for me to sit there with this much older man forcing me to feed him his food.”

After that incident, Rafi says she started dressing in layers of clothes to work, and she claims she was fired by the end of the month by Ray because of the clothing (and, presumably, her rejection of him). Obviously these allegations sound horribly gross and inappropriate—but at the same time, at least Ray didn't try busting out his finest caveman club to close the deal.
