Strauss-Kahn Had Secret Flat In Paris To Hide Group Sex From Wife, Court Hears Former IMF chief tells aggravated pimping trial apartment in upmarket Paris area was for discreet meetings with women
Angelique Chrisafis 12 February 2015 Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former head of the International Monetary Fund, has told a court how he rented a luxury flat in Paris under an acquaintance’s name because he was married and wanted somewhere discreet to meet women for group sex.
Strauss-Kahn is on trial for alleged “aggravated pimping” – aiding and abetting the prostitution of seven women – and could be jailed for up to 10 years if convicted. While leading the IMF in Washington, he allegedly had group sex with prostitutes specifically brought to him in Europe and the US, organised by French businessmen friends at his instigation.
He strongly denies knowing the women were prostitutes and maintains he thought they were just “swingers”, like himself. He denies all pimping charges.
Strauss-Kahn said private “swingers’ evenings” took place at the flat and that he was always present and participating, but insisted he was not the organiser of those evenings. He has denied knowing, or suspecting, that there were any prostitutes or paid women at those events. People who were at the events told the court they had not sensed the presence of any prostitutes. Asked by a judge why the flat was rented under an opaque setup, Strauss-Kahn said: “I was a politician, I was married. I needed a discreet place to meet politicians, and to meet young women I wanted to meet.”
