There IS lots of physical evidence---DNA under her fingernails when she scratched him, blood on the bed, a paper trail indicating he had flim-flammed the hotel into thinking he had left.
Luxe hotels handle $3000 a night guests with kid gloves. There's a protocol----the help does not freely enter rooms at will. Apparently maids are not allowed to enter rooms until they are specifically told the guest has departed.
The hotel first sends in a bellman to cart off dishes, empty bottles, and the like BEFORE the maids go in to clean.
The victim had been told by the bellman that the guest had left....and got the OK to enter the room. But when she walked in, DSK was apparently hiding in the bathroom and ran out to attack her when he heard her come in.
From what we now know, it looks like HE set her up for rape.
They hustled him off to Rikers despite a high paid lawyer's plea........b/c he's done this before and had been warned. As was posted above----everyone in Paris has known for years he had something of a problem. Not many female journalists are prepared to interview him alone.
Interesting that he bolted the hotel to escape and left his belongings-----but really, really wanted the cell phone. Makes you wonder what was on there that he was desperate to hide?
After Magnum and Tawana and the fact that Kahn WAS chief contender for the President of France until this happened....I'll wait.
Remember....Magnum's rape kit said bruises etc consistent with rape.
With the likely exception of Nina Burleigh.
I’m so surprised that the DNA evidence you describe isn’t on the front page of newspapers or being screamed on web pages. It looks like their looking hard but not finding much when I Google.
