UPPER EAST SIDE — The Manhattan District Attorney has decided not to prosecute a rape accusation made against high-powered attorney Sanford Rubenstein that allegedly took place in his penthouse apartment last year, officials said.

The prosecutor's decision comes three months after news broke that police had searched Rubenstein’s penthouse for evidence of rape.

Rubenstein, 70, had taken the Brooklyn mother-of-two, a vice-president of Government and Public Affairs at Macy's with ties to the National Action Network, back to his apartment after the two attended Rev. Al Sharpton’s 60th birthday party at the Four Seasons on Oct. 1, according a civil complaint filed on her behalf in Brooklyn Monday.
