(Strauss)-KAAAAAAAAAHN!

[LongTimeListener]

Setup all the way. She thought she was on the trail (and the schlong) of your regular rich guy who would pay $2M to stay out of trouble. What she didn't know was this rich guy was also world-famous, powerful and a cinch for international headlines, and that destroyed her plan.

Might be. If so, I think it was her deal all the way, not some master plan devised by Sarkozy to take down a rival.

It's still possible that he did attack her, and she decided that justice combined with payoff would be sweeter than justice alone.

Yikes. The flood gates are opening:

Dominique Strauss-Kahn's accuser wasn't just a girl working at a hotel -- she was a working girl.

The Sofitel housekeeper who claims the former IMF boss sexually assaulted her in his room was doing double duty as a prostitute, collecting cash on the side from male guests, The Post has learned.

"There is information . . . of her getting extraordinary tips, if you know what I mean. And it's not for bringing extra f--king towels," a source close to the defense investigation said yesterday.

Too bad for DSK it's a holiday weekend. Those charges are gone.

Tristane Banon, a 32-year-old journalist and writer, will file for charges on Tuesday over an alleged attack in a Paris apartment in 2003 during which she claims Strauss-Khan tried to unhook her bra and open her jeans. Her lawyer, David Koubbi said the complaint would reach the Paris prosecutor’s office by Wednesday.

The announcement came just days after it emerged that the sexual assault case by an American hotel chambermaid against the former International Monetary Fund chief was close to collapse. Strauss Khan was freed from his strict bail terms by a New York court on Friday amid doubts over the alleged victim’s credibility.

Sounds like DSK was wise to stay stateside in this development.

No idea what the statute of limitations is in Froggieland, but I like our standards for proof over whatever the hell they have in the land of SECAM television.

 

[deskslave]

Statute of limitations is 10 years, apparently, for attempted rape. He's threatened to countersue for defamation. I'm sure he'll end up paying her to be quiet.

I'm shocked that "a source close to the defense" would leak this. Pretty weak sauce by the NYP to put this on the cover without anything besides this "source".

The Post has doubled down on it.

They've actually said she was turning tricks at the hotel the DA was putting her up at after all of this.

The Times today too seems to confirm she was turning tricks.

It's pretty bizarre to me. I thought it sounded crazy too when the Post printed it, especially with so little evidence.

And, I've stayed at a lot of nice hotels and have never, ever assumed a maid would be doubling as a pro. Never been propositioned. Never got any kind of vibe that it was on the menu.

I mean, does this kind of thing really happen?

At this point this this thread is no good without pictures. How many days before The Post pops up her photo? I say within 3 days.

Not at the Fairfield Inn.

Greg Maddox Dad would say yes.

French newspapers have her name and photos. She will pass the New York Post front page test.

Her last name is well known to NYPD

Should he go on trial for attacking the French writer, Strauss-Kahn is requesting the trial be moved to Orlando.

It's the Pinellas County jury that's the key.

I'm sure Jeff Ashton thinks he could get a conviction.

Bloomberg must have caught a lot of crap from DSK's friends at cocktail parties recently:

French critics who angrily denounced the US justice system for subjecting former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn to a humiliating "perp walk" found an unlikely ally yesterday: Mayor Bloomberg.

Reversing his position of just seven weeks ago, the mayor denounced as "outrageous" and a "circus" the long-standing practice of marching criminal suspects before photographers and TV cameras when they are transported from station houses to courthouses.

"I've always thought perp walks were outrageous," Bloomberg said yesterday, when asked about Strauss-Kahn's walk of shame following his arrest on charges of sexually assaulting a hotel maid. "That's only my view."

Well, if this isn't the best spin I've ever heard on cheating:

DSK confessed to his wife he "had" a trio of lovers as he blew off steam before the French presidential race, according to an unnamed friend of spouse Anne Sinclair, who was quoted in Le Point magazine.

"So, it wasn't just one for the road before the presidential campaign," Sinclair's friend said. "It was three."

"Honey, I wasn't cheating, I was just blowing off some steam before the presidential race."

He did it because he loves his country so much!
