IMF Cheif in Trouble
International Monetary Fund cheif, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, is facing charges of a criminal sex act, unlawful imprisonment and attempted rape. According to MSN.com, "A 32-year-old maid told authorities that when she entered his spacious, $3,000-a-night suite early Saturday afternoon, she thought it was unoccupied. Instead, Strauss-Kahn emerged from the bathroom naked, chased her down a hallway and pulled her into a bedroom, where he sexually assaulted her." Strauss-Kahn's wife is sticking by his side through all of this. She said, "I do not believe for one second the accusations brought against my husband. I have no doubt his innocence will be established."
Currently, the IMF cheif is undergoing a forensic medical exam with police to find any evidence of the assault. Investigators also found DNA evidence in Strauss-Kahn's hotel room where the assault allegedly took place. In addition to that, the hotel maid has already identified Strauss-Kahn in a police lineup which included five other men. The arraignment was supposed to take place on Sunday, but it has been postponed until Monday due to the forensic examination. Strauss-Kahn's second attorney told the press that his client will plead not guilty to these allegations.
