No matter how this mess turns out,it’s gonna be a windfall for the lawyers.

More of a party official than her mother.

The mom’s statement says “sexual assault”. I read that their statute of limitations is 3 years.

This DSK dude has a history of taking what he wants because he is a French elitist bankster at heart.

She met him alone in a hotel. Pretty dumb for a 23 year old from a politically astute family. His second wife is godmother to this French chick. It's the reason I don't believe her. She would know all about him before she even met him.

"His" chapter was deleted from her book.....supposedly....

How many Socialists does it take to defend the honor of a French Feminist?

Nobody knows, it's never been tried.

But now Mansouret realizes that probably wasn't a great idea and wrote on her blog, "Now I regret having persuaded her not to bring charges. I carry a heavy responsibility. My daughter was in a bad way but it was awkward for reasons of family and friendship."

Roman Polanski also got to skate for a while on this basis. I'm sure the mother does feel bad, and I'm glad she's trying to make up for it now.

Also, when the news about DSK's latest caper broke, I believe there was also another French woman who had said (years ago) that the same thing had happened to her, but IIRC she didn't want to discuss it now and just wanted to continue forgetting about the whole thing. Does anybody else remember this?

In any case, it's a very common thing for women, especially well-off, educated women who feel it "couldn't happen to them," to just want to forget the whole thing no matter how much they felt violated at the time.

[plain talk]

wasn’t there other women also coming forward besides this one?

[Revolting cat!]

Damn, I hate when that happens!

[Revolting cat!]

In my days the aristocracy settled such matters among themselves.

[Revolting cat!]

Another modern femme trying to hitch a ride on a man’s fame and good reputation!

This guy is another Bill Clinton.

maybe the lady should put some ice on it.

I find this man tedious. Just the kind of sleazeball you’d imagine running the IMF.

Seems that leftists have no problem telling women to shut up about rape, or even to attack the accusers personally, when it is in the interests of their agenda.

"The National Organization for Women is calling on Dominique Strauss-Kahn to resign or be removed immediately from his position as managing director of the International Monetary Fund," said NOW President Terry O'Neill.

Hmmm... no retraction from these birdbrains.

But then again, I don't think ANYONE cares what they have to say.

DSK could probably not have been extradited back to the USA once he arrived in France. Rape or attempted rape could be extraditable, but sexual assault is not one of the crimes specified in the US-French extradition treaty. See http://internationalextraditionblog.com/2011/04/27/france-extradition-treaty-with-the-united-states/

That is probably why the police were so anxious to arrest him.
