Background:

Tristane Banon, the 31-year-old god-daughter of Strauss-Kahn’s second wife Brigitte Guillemette, said he attacked her almost a decade ago. Ms Banon will now tell French detectives about the alleged attempted rape, which took place in an anonymous studio flat in Paris in 2002.

Strauss-Kahn lured the then 21-year-old trainee journalist to the property under the promise of an interview, and then started to rip her clothes off, it is claimed.

‘I kicked him, I called him a rapist, he didn’t seem to care,’ said Ms Banon in earlier interviews, in which she also described Strauss-Kahn as acting like a ‘rutting chimpanzee’.

Ms Banon’s mother, Anne Mansouret, said the only reason she did not press charges at the time was because 'she was just starting out in journalism' and was afraid of being 'defined by the story' of being attacked by a senior politician.

And as long as that holds true, he'll continue to escape the consequences of his actions.

Two rape charges?
That locks it in for him.
He will be a shoo-in for President of France now.

Is there a statute of limitations on rape? Nine years seems a long time to wait.

This guy must be related to Bill Clinton!

[Dr.Deth]

She’s 100% not guilty.

But needless to say, there’s something mighty fishy about the decision to drop the charges in New York.

[a fool in paradise]

She has already publicly discussed the incident, saying Strauss-Kahn acted like a "chimpanzee on heat"

Is that anything like a crazed sex poodle?

[Revolting cat!]

Tristane prefers freaks!

Trisane Banon?

She must be Race Bannon’s French cousin.

Laz? Well if he wouldn’t hit it, then there is no hope for the survival of the French language.

Seems mamma Banon had slept with Kahn a few years before the daughter. It just gets better and better.

So the daughter goes to an obscure hotel?? rather than a quiet restaurant with people around??

Her books appear to be VERY anti-male.
