Joseph Yannai was sentenced Monday after his conviction last month on charges he sexually abused his female assistants.




An admitted “dirty old man” was sentenced to 11 years in prison Monday for sexually abusing beautiful foreign women he recruited to work for him as personal assistants in his upscale home in Pound Ridge, Westchester County.


Joseph Yannai, 69, sat in a wheelchair and showed no emotion in Brooklyn federal court. Yannai, who billed himself an author after self-publishing a cookbook, attempted suicide by taking an overdose of pills during his trial and was convicted in absentia.

His lawyer acknowledged Yannai was a “dirty old man,” but not the sociopath portrayed by prosecutors.
