Zalmon Silber<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The former operator of the Empire State Building<\/a>‘s Skyride was charged Thursday with pretending to be a doctor so he could give unsuspecting women "gynecological exams," police and prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wealthy businessman Zalman Silber<\/a>, 40, was arrested at his Monsey, N.Y., home Thursday morning and accused of molesting two women, ages 18 and 20, in his twisted charade, sources said.<\/p>\n

He hired as his defense lawyer disgraced former Rockland County<\/a> prosecutor Kenneth Gribetz<\/a>, who stepped down after his proclivities for wearing women’s clothing and a dog collar were exposed by the Daily News more than a decade ago.<\/p>\n

"It doesn’t often get stranger than this," a police source said.<\/p>\n

Silber, a Hasidic Jew and father of five, was charged with third-degree sexual abuse and unauthorized practice and professions for impersonating a doctor, law enforcement sources said.<\/p>\n

Silber’s pregnant wife, Gila, declined to comment at their home Thursday night. Silber moved to the Rockland County community from Borough Park<\/a>, Brooklyn<\/a>, a year ago, neighbors said.<\/p>\n

Silber fooled his victims by saying the exams were part of a medical survey, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

Legitimate doctors who had offices in the same Manhattan<\/a> building where Silber allegedly molested the women were stunned to find the polite man was accused as an imposter, sources said.<\/p>\n

Investigators in the NYPD<\/a>‘s Manhattan special victims unit believe Silber’s "exams" may have started in 2003 and were checking into the possibility that there are more victims, law enforcement sources said.<\/p>\n

"He asserts his innocence. We feel this is a total mistake," Gribetz said.<\/p>\n

In the 1990s, Silber was considered something of a business whiz. He was hailed by Inc. magazine<\/a> in 1998 for creating a $9 million business offering tourists a simulated helicopter tour of the Big Apple<\/a> through the New York Skyride at the Empire State Building.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
