Andy Rubin, the Google executive who was responsible for the Android operating system and was accused of sexually assaulting a Google employee, was quoted in an article by the New York Times as telling his ex-wife “you are my property, and I can loan you to other people.”

The article notes that Andy Rubin, the creator of the Android mobile operating system, left the company in October 2014 and was given a “hero’s farewell” by executives at the company.
