just john Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 It does seem very much like he is being treated like persona non grata, which together with accounts from other quarters that the Americans are claiming that next head of IMF should be American and not European, well . . . . .

Lori Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/05/16/new.york.imf.questioning/index.html?hpt=T2"Prosecutors detailed a laundry list of charges against him including two counts of first-degree criminal sexual act; one count of first-degree attempted rape; one count of first-degree sexual abuse; one count of second-degree unlawful imprisonment; one count of forcible touching; and one count of third-degree sexual abuse. Defense attorneys noted Strauss-Kahn's lack of a criminal record and said he would be prepared to stay with his daughter in New York if released on bail. They suggested a bail amount of $1 million. But, Jackson told Strauss-Kahn defense attorney Benjamin Brafman, "The same rules apply to your defendant as all defendants, and I am a fair judge."That's a lot of charges. It will be very interesting to hear his version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[:D]As an aside, the details you mentioned earlier are in the report distributed by the prosecution. Apparently, very specific details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clair Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 For crying out loud, how was this not widely known?[quote]Ayant suivi DSK entre 1997 et 1999, comme ministre des Finances, j'ai pu assister à plusieurs reprises à son comportement à l'égard de certaines femmes qui m'a particulièrement choqué, et je disposais de plusieurs témoignages de consœurs qui avaient fait l'objet de comportements «inappropriés» de DSK. Ce que je n'arrive toujours pas à comprendre, c'est pourquoi personne n'en a parlé avant moi. En Suède, aux Etats-Unis ou en Angleterre, DSK n'aurait même pas commencé sa carrière politique. SourceHaving followed DSK between 1997 and 1999, when he was finance minister, there were several occasions when I was particularly shocked by his behaviour toward some women and I had several testimonies from colleagues who had been the subject of DSK's "inappropriate" behaviour. What I still cannot understand is why nobody has mentioned this before. In Sweden, the United States or England, DSK would not even have started a political career.[/quote]2007 blog entry (translation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idun Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 [quote user="woolybanana"]Please, please, please can someone teach me how to wallow is sex!!!!!!!!!!!!![/quote] Ah my, how I have laughed. 'wallow', word I haven't used or thought about for some time, so I thought 'look it up'. So I did, and it said 'slosh around in'. Still smiling now, is that what you really want Wooly? I am suddenly feeling rather ignorant about some subjects. Those charges, if this is true, then how horrific and terrifying for this woman.
