This happens every day to some woman, somplace and I would almost bet that 90% of the women on this board have been "challenged" at some point in their life. He says yes. She says no. A tussle and she leaves.

Rape is a whole different ball game.

Neither one of these women were raped.

And Banon...pretty stupid to meet him in an out of the way hotel. And then of course, there's the other little item: Banon's mother had slept with him. I'm not defending his bad behavior.

DSK could have become President of France.

We had our Presidential ".....". Bubba, JFK....

Apparently, using the Whitehouse as a sleezy motel is not a big deal. SHAME ON US!!!

With his long, well known history of sexual violence, harassment, & inappropriate behavior with women, DSK is a serial sexual predator.
For a man in such high public office, head of the IMF, his behavior is not his private life, it puts national security at risk.
IMHO France dodged a bullet by DSK getting caught in NY. Imagine him continuing his orgies and high risk behavior if he were elected President.
