Dominique Strauss-Kahn could face gang rape charges after US hotel orgy

During questioning in the so-called Carlton case – as many of the prostitutes
operated out of a hotel of that name in Lille, northern France – Marie-Anne
S. described a “violent scene” in the upmarket W hotel, near the White
House.

She said Mr Strauss-Kahn “used force” against her. “He held my hands. He
pulled my hair, he hurt me,” she told judges, adding that the former French
finance minister tried to sodomise her.

“I refused saying no, I don’t want to…I clearly said I didn’t want to several
times, out loud,” she reportedly told the judges.

She said three of Mr Strauss-Kahn’s friends who were present did nothing to
intervene. In fact, one colleague, grabbed her hands, she alleged.

She did not choose to file a legal complaint against Mr Strauss-Kahn, but
added: “I found DSK was a nasty piece of work as he didn’t know how to
respect the other person…I believe he is capable of being violent (with
others)”.

He denies any wrongdoing and insists he thought all the women he had sex with
in such sessions were libertarians like him.

“There was no brutal relations, no degraded view of women and no violence,” he
told judges on March 26.

The Lille prosecutor now has three options: launch a preliminary or formal
inquiry, or decide that there are insufficient details to do so unless the
woman files for charges, which she could do after Sunday’s presidential
elections.

Fellow escort girl Aurélie D, 26, who was present at the scene, was less
categorical about whether Marie-Anne S. had resisted Mr Strauss-Kahn,
saying: “I saw on her face that she didn’t like it. I told DSK to stop.” She
added: “I didn’t hear her say no. If she didn’t want to and if she had
shouted, I would have heard it and intervened.” But she later qualified that
statement by saying it was also possible she did not hear her.

The new development comes after a judge on Monday dismissed Mr Strauss-Kahn’s
claims of diplomatic immunity over the alleged sexual assault of a hotel
maid in New York.

The civil lawsuit, filed by Nafissatou Diallo, can now proceed to trial. Mr
Strauss-Kahn had criminal charges against him for the same offence dropped
last year.
