Pharmacist sues karate center for banning her over affair with younger ... trends now
A New York pharmacist claims she was a victim of sex discrimination when a Long Island karate center allegedly banned her over an affair she had with one of their instructors.
Kristin Fabbio-Hamelburg, a wife and mother of two boys, said her husband has forgiven her for the tryst, but the owner of the karate center has not, according to a complaint filed with the state Division of Human Rights that was obtained by the New York Daily News.

But the owner, Jobin George, banned her from the center and through his lawyer, Aaron Kleinmann, said it was not jealousy or puritanical zeal, but her husband's threats and frequent drop-ins that prompted the banishment.
