Rule(s): 4119.7(b)
Ruling Text: PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that your license to participate in pari-mutuel harness racing as a trainer and driver is hereby SUSPENDED IMMEDIATELY pending the disposition by the Board of the scheduled hearing before the New York State Racing and Wagering Board or, if you refuse such hearing or default in appearing, SUSPENDED until such time as the Board in its discretion takes further action, including but not limited to license suspension or revocation or refusal to license. This action is taken pursuant to Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law §§ 309 and 321, 9 NYCRR § 4119.7(b), and State Administrative Procedure Act § 401(3), upon a finding of the Board that the public safety and welfare imperatively require this emergency action in that your continued participation in racing is a potential cause of civil unrest and public harm and further, could result in an impairment of the public's confidence in pari-mutuel racing in New York State and have an adverse affect upon substantial State and public revenues and revenues to the industry in general generated by pari-mutuel racing, in that, an indictment returned in June 2012 in Saratoga County Court charged you with 48 felonies of improper sexual acts or statutory rape with a female of 14 then 15 years of age. These offenses involve moral turpitude and under the present circumstances, you lack the general character and fitness for continued participation in pari-mutuel racing and your continued participation in pari-mutuel racing is presently inconsistent with the public interest, convenience, and necessity, and with the best interests of racing generally.
