Erica Levin has now been charged with obstruction of justice.

Erica Levin, the wife of a former court-appointed psychiatrist who was found guilty on three counts of sexual assault against male patients, has now been charged with obstruction of justice.

Police arrested the 69-year-old woman again Thursday.

She's accused of approaching a juror at her husband's trial and offering the woman cash to acquit him.

In a written letter to the judge, the juror alleges that Erica Levin tried to hand over an envelope with cash while repeatedly saying "my husband is not guilty." 

Police say their investigation didn't turn up any evidence that other jurors were approached.

Aubrey Levin was sentenced to five years in jail after being found guilty last month.

Erica Levin was released from custody pending her court appearance next Thursday.

The maximum sentence for obstruction of justice is 10 years.
