I stayed at a motel in UK once. It was a converted stable block somewhere in the shires, I think, and they had forgotten to remove the horse.... or was that the maid? Ah me, twas a long time ago.
Oh yes, and it has just come back to me, a night at Raffles in Sing where there was one permanent maid between two suites. That was nice. I signed in on the page after that of Michael Jackson, a fact of which he was completely unaware! Cost me a US grand for the night. I promised to take the wife for dinner for her 50th and when we arrived at the airport she thought I was taking her on a round Hong Kong joy ride. She hasn't really recovered yet!

George Jones tells a similar story. When he looked in her eyes he saw the reflection of his wedding band.

The standard in the US for the prosecution to prove rape beyond a reasonable doubt are very onerous. With out witnesses, medical evidence of phyical assualt and forensic evidence of penetration, it's very difficult to obtain a rape conviction....unless your black.

On Friday, more details emerged about last Saturday's alleged attack in Suite 2806 of the Sofitel hotel. A law-enforcement source with knowledge of the case said a room service attendant entered the suite a short time before the 32-year-old Guinean maid arrived.
The room service attendant, who didn't think anyone was in the suite of rooms, used a pass key to let himself in to retrieve some room-service items, the source said. While inside, he left the door ajar, he told police, according to the source.
When the maid showed up at the door about noon, the room-service attendant told her to enter, then departed, the source said.
Once inside, the maid parked her cleaning cart in the doorway, as dictated by hotel policy. A short time later, Strauss-Kahn emerged naked from a room and attacked her, the victim has alleged.

this raises doubt in my mind as to his guilt....a male employee was in the room prior to her....he conveniently leaves the door open (thus she doesn't have to prove she used her key card to access the room) and then he leaves and then kahn comes out naked, chasing her down? did she close the door? which is unusual for maids...did he? this makes think it could be a set up.

She entered the room at 12 noon and left at 1.30????
Jeeesh, what did they do? Lie back and share a cigarette??
He CHASED her? How old is he? He chased her suggests they were running for a measurable time. She couldn't get to the door? She couldn't scream?
Dear Mr. Sarkosy,
Do any of your ultra right wingers know anything of this?
You really are a douche bag~ A wealthy womanizer rapes an African immigrant because he thinks he can get away with it- maybe the asshole rapist will get aids for his trouble.
The accuser in the Dominique Strauss-Kahn sex case, the 32-year-old Guinean woman who worked as chambermaid at the Sofitel hotel suite near Times Square in New York lives with her daughter in a Bronx apartment housing project run by Harlem Community AIDS United and rented exclusively for adults with HIV or AIDS, the New York Post has learned.
In an exclusive report, The Post said the hotel maid, a West African immigrant, has occupied the fourth-floor High Bridge pad with her 15-year-old daughter since January -- and before that, lived in another Bronx apartment set aside by Harlem Community AIDS United strictly for adults with the virus and their families.

and that is relevant for what reason? I said a long time ago that he is a womaniser and was probably guilty of something. I wasn't there so I cannot vouch for an insertion nor do I know either the defendant nor the plaintiff.
But I have lived long enough to make a reasoned guess at what might well be a honey trap and there is no proof that, if it was, the chambermaid knew anything about it.
So look before you leap... unless, of course, you are close to a cliff edge in which case the advice doesnt hold.
People dance to the command of magic wand. The real reason of the arrest is he refuse to fund the bankrupt USA.

On Monday evening, May 16, 2011 the Obama government reached and crashed through the $14.29 trillion debt ceiling. What is the debt ceiling? The debt ceiling is simply a cap on how much money the US federal government can owe. For instance, if the debt ceiling was set at $14.29 trillion, then the US government would be forbidden from incurring a total public debt load of over $14.29 trillion. This $14.29 trillion number includes both public debt (money that is owed to individual investors, foreign governments, pension funds, etc) and intragovernmental holdings (money that is owed to various government programs).
On the weekend (May 14 and 15, 2011) prior to this historic event the US government and the IMF chief were engaged in behind closed doors negotiations for an IMF financial bailout of the US government. IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, a French citizen and political opponent of French president Nicolas Sarkozy for the French presidency, was in the US for this meeting. The Obama government failed to secure funds from the IMF chief. In retaliation the US government immediately launched a pre-planned smear campaign against the IMF – IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn.

The US government is as of Monday May 16, 2011 bankrupt. The IMF was the US government’s last hope. Countries contribute to an IMF controlled pool which could be borrowed from, on a temporary basis, by countries with payment imbalances. As of June 2009, the International Monetary Fund held 3,217 tonnes (103.4 million oz.) of gold. In the past the IMF offered loans with varying levels of conditionality – mainly to poorer countries. The IMF wasn’t formed to loan money to rich countries like the United States. On the weekend prior to Monday, May 16, 2011 (when the Obama government reached and crashed through the $14.29 trillion debt ceiling limit) the Obama government attempted but failed to negotiate an IMF loan. Why did IMF chief, Dominique Strauss-Kahn decline the US government’s loan request? A good banker wouldn’t loan any amount of money to any person, company or country who couldn’t repay it – especially when bankruptcy is inevitable. So to distract the American public from the historic event of May 16, 2011 – when the US government crashed through the debt ceiling limit of $14.29 trillion – the US government, with the support of Libyan war of aggression ally French president Nicolas Sarkozy, illegally seized IMF chief and French diplomat Dominique Strauss-Kahn on US soil and is holding him hostage until the IMF pays the US government a ransom for his release.

The current purpose of the IMF is to bail out petite nations such as Greece and Ireland... Using the funds of large nations such as the US, UK, Germany, France, etc. Thanks for playing, though, Kathakfreak.

I dunno. As I said before, it's a surreal story.
Why on Earth would he do this? On the other hand, besides in some outlandish conspiracy, I can't see why a random chambermaid would make such an accusation against a random man she likely had no idea was running for president of a foreign country. Unless something more pops up, though, I don't see this passing reasonable doubt. An accusation alone should not be sufficient to convict someone of a crime.

Since he will likely have a GPS tracker stuck on him, not much. If he could manage to get to France (again, I don't see how), he would be tried in French courts (since France doesn't extradite citizens), and would be a lot more likely to win the case in such circumstances.

Interestingly, she was an immigrant from a former French colony, and likely spoke French. So she does have closer ties to France than "some African immigrant" would suggest.
Sex offense is common practise for those celebrities. Arnold Schwarzinegger did a lot of this but never been prosecuted. Because he works for the Feds.

After announcing his separation from wife Maria Shriver this week, a woman has alleged she was just one of many mistresses that shattered Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 25-year marriage.
The 63-year-old Terminator actor denies an affair with Gigi Goyette, but the 52-year-old woman has said: ‘There were so many other women. About 13 have come out of the woodwork.’
She claims she met Schwarzenegger in 1975, when she was a 16-year-old child actress on Little House On The Prairie.
