What makes this really silly....all he had to do was fly for nine hours...and be in Paris. There, he could call his mistress and have all the normal fun that he expected. For some stupid act in a hotel with a maid, you could spend five years in prison. The guy had to be on some kind of medication when he did all this.
Political Power can be a drug, however I suspect what went on here is DSK thought things were “business as usual” with the Maid and got a rude surprise when he discovered things happen much differently in the US as compared to French Guyana.
Still have to point out though, innocent until proven guilty in the US.
Rape is a crime of violence. The thrill for the rapist comes from the violence & domination, not the sex.
5 years in prison? If DSK is convicted on all counts he risks 47 years in prison. He is 62 years old. You do the math!
