I.M.F. Head Is Arrested and Accused of Sexual Attack
“1st q about DSK: did he do it? 2nd q: who pays for an IMF chief's $3000 NY hotel room? BL http://nyti.ms/luE9EY”http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/s/dominique_strausskahn/index.html?scp=1-spot&sq=dominique%20strauss%20kahn&st=cse"The dismissal left Ms. Diallo with no recourse to pursue criminal charges against Mr. Strauss-Kahn, though her civil lawsuit against him is still pending. Her lawyer, Kenneth P. Thompson, has been relentless in his assertion that Mr. Strauss-Kahn sexually assaulted his client and that Mr. Vance’s office abandoned the case too soon.
Return to France and an Uncertain Future
Though Mr. Strauss-Kahn was cleared of all charges in New York, and prominent members of his Socialist Party expressed their support, his homecoming evoked mixed reactions. After months of notoriety, his political career has clearly been damaged.
On Sept. 4, 2011 he returned to a country that was still shocked and mystified that a potential president on the verge of a planned political campaign could have been so reckless as to have had a sexual encounter, consensual or otherwise, with a hotel chambermaid.
His return left his Socialist Party uneasy. He came back at a time when the party was deep into the presidential primary campaign and most of his closest allies had joined with other politicians. Even the party secretary, Martine Aubry, a candidate who would not have run if Mr. Strauss-Kahn had done so, distanced herself from him for the first time, telling French television, “I think the same thing as many women regarding Strauss-Kahn’s attitude to women.”
But Mr. Strauss-Kahn’s legal troubles are not over. He faces a civil trial in the United States brought by the hotel maid.
The unease around Mr. Strauss-Kahn will not go away soon. Whatever his accomplishments, his name is now associated with scandal and more tales of promiscuity that have emerged since then. A former Socialist prime minister, Michel Rocard, caused a ruckus when he said that Mr. Strauss-Kahn “obviously has a mental illness, trouble controlling his impulses.” Mr. Rocard added: “He’s out of the game. It’s a shame, he had real talent.”
However, Mr. Strauss-Kahn may yet have a role to play. As a former finance minister and managing director of the I.M.F., he continues to command respect for his economic knowledge. And his endorsement of another candidate may carry weight in the Socialist primary. It is highly likely that his voice will be important during the presidential campaign itself, as an adviser to the candidate and as a critic of the policies of President Nicolas Sarkozy.
A Socialist victory next year could bring Mr. Strauss-Kahn into government as a minister, and a Socialist defeat might make him even more important in a party that would be seeking a new rationale."
Let him rot.
