As another FReeper put it, the man was Spitzered!
The ultimate politically correct prosecution satisfying the sex phobias and sex crime obsessions of both the Right and the Left!
I have no prejudice against immigrants in general, but but but ...
One of the great unreported stories of our time is that many have brought with them an incredble level of dishonesty, criminality and an ability to game the sytem.
I’m not talking just illegal immigrants. Many are from countries where there is no respect for institutions or the law. They are conducting a huge illegal money drain, sending under the table cash overseas.
So, summary execution of Kahn is out?
As screwed up as our “Justice” system is (has nothing to do with justice) it looks like court trials are still better than trial by the press.
Any chance this illegal will get deported, weather the rape case goes forward or not?
From this article it looks like an attempted shakedown gone awry?
I never understood the hyphenated name for a man of his stature. The only guys with hyphenated names I know of are blue collar types married to white collar women.
Sounds like she may be caught up in a shakedown scam, either as her own idea, or she was put up to it by some other parties. OR, this might be a smear campaign by parties to discredit the victim in this case. The holes and flip-flopping (according to the authorities) in her story aren’t helping her though.
The Times would like nothing better than to save their socialist friend.
And we all have had experience with leftist sex perverts who would do ANYTHING to twist the truth in order to retain power.
Oh, the heat I caught here for daring to suspect fraud the morning this story broke.
smear job by the NYTimes...
her “connections with crime” are a finace who used her identity to launder drug money.
and even her saying “I know what I am doing” could be that he was telling her she had no chance to win but she knew what she was doing was right. The “change of story” is that she cleaned a room before she reported it (many of the rape victims I examined had gone home and showered before reporting it, so the small delay is no unusual...)
One would love to hear the cops sense of the story, not the times, which has an interest in getting this SOB free.
The “best case” scenerio is that he had “consensual” sex with a maid...but even then, it could be covered by the sexual harassment law, which covers the fact she might feel compelled to give him sex or get fired.
He has done such things before...has she? She’s been working at the hotel for three years, and this is the first guy she’s had sex with?
Where’s Al sharpton when we need him.
The Times really wants their boy to go free. Interesting that what trumps a black female Muslim illegal immigrant is a fantastically rich French NGO socialist.
I think this woman was hardly a sweet young thing and that visions of profiting from the incident in some way (perhaps a civil suit later) did cross her mind, but I also think he did attack her. There was physical evidence - scratches, his DNA under her fingernails, etc. She could have made a lot more money if it had been consensual or if she had consented after he grabbed her (apparently his style was simply to leap on women who were his inferiors) and she then threatened to reveal it. Doing something where it became a criminal case meant that she wasn’t going to be able to profit on it (unless, again, after the criminal proceedings, she tried to file some kind of civil suit).
But it’s interesting to see who the Times is protecting this time around.
I read a great article the other day (in the WSJ, I believe, but I’m not certain) asking who needs the IMF in the first place and urging that it be disbanded. It is funded primarily by the US and was set up after WWII. The author felt it had outlived any usefulness that it may have had.
Under the bus with her.
But ... what is the truth?
It is remarkable how ‘truth’ can change so quickly, and be accepted both “before” and “after” so completely, by so many.
IMHO we are far too easily manipulated.
