Strauss-Kahn in Toulouse at a meeting regarding the 2007 French presidential election

Dominique Strauss-Kahn was charged with the sexual assault and attempted rape of a housekeeper at the Sofitel New York Hotel on May 14, 2011. He has denied all allegations and pleaded not guilty.

At the time of the alleged attack, Strauss-Kahn was the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and considered to be a leading candidate for the 2012 French Presidency. Four days after his arrest, he resigned his post at the IMF. The Economist remarked that his early resignation came at a critical time for the world economy and would make the task of finding a replacement for him still more urgent and complicated.[1]

Strauss-Kahn's arrest precipitated intense media interest worldwide. Images of him in custody were widely disseminated in US media causing controversy in France where such images are illegal and considered degrading. After the arrest there was speculation by a considerable portion of the French population that the allegations were a setup by political opponents. A number of his close and intimate friends, including his present and former wives, supported him, stressing that although a womanizer he was incapable of behaving violently toward women. Others criticized his conduct with women, while the media response provoked a discussion of sexism in French culture.

On May 19, Strauss-Kahn was indicted by a grand jury to stand trial and could face more than 25 years in prison if convicted. After posting $1 million bail, he was placed under house arrest.[2] He was arraigned on June 6 and pleaded not guilty. The next court date is set for July 18, 2011.[3]

Arrest and pre-trial proceedings

On May 14, 2011, Strauss-Kahn was arrested in connection with alleged sexual assaults on a housekeeper at the Sofitel New York Hotel in Manhattan earlier that day. After calling the hotel and asking them to bring his missing cell phone to the airport, he was met by police and taken from his Paris-bound flight at New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport minutes before takeoff and was later charged on several counts of sexual assault plus unlawful imprisonment. Strauss-Kahn is accused of having forced the housekeeper to submit to anal sex, to perform oral sex on him, and attempting to force her to have intercourse with him.[4][5] The U.S. State Department determined that Strauss-Kahn does not have diplomatic immunity.[6]

Strauss-Kahn appeared in court on May 16. During the proceedings, the prosecution stated that the housekeeper had provided a detailed account of the alleged assault, had picked Strauss-Kahn out of a lineup, and that DNA evidence recovered at the site was being tested.[7] Strauss-Kahn, who had earlier agreed to a forensic examination, pleaded not guilty.[8][9] The judge detained him without bail pending the grand jury investigation.[9]

Strauss-Kahn hired New York lawyer Benjamin Brafman to represent him.[10] He is also reportedly seeking public relations advice from a Washington-based consulting firm.[11] His defense team hired a private detective agency to investigate the housekeeper's past.[12]

The housekeeper is represented by Kenneth Thompson and Douglas Wigdor of Thompson Wigdor LLP, a two-partner law firm whose areas of expertise include employment law and civil rights cases.[13][14]

On May 19, 2011, Strauss-Kahn was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury on seven criminal counts, two of which are first-degree criminal sexual acts, each of which is punishable by a sentence of up to 25 years in prison.[15][16] Bail was set at $1 million with 24-hour home detention and electronic monitoring.[17] After Strauss-Kahn turned over his passport and posted an additional $5 million bail bond,[2] he was placed under house arrest in a residence[18] in Lower Manhattan.[19]

Strauss-Kahn was arraigned on June 6, 2011, and pleaded not guilty.[20] Outside the court, lawyers for the parties made statements. Benjamin Brafman, for Strauss-Kahn, said: "In our judgment, once the evidence has been reviewed, it will be clear that there was no element of forcible compulsion in this case whatsoever. Any suggestion to the contrary is simply not credible." Kenneth Thompson, for the housekeeper, said: "She is going to come into this courthouse, get on that witness stand and tell the world what Dominique Strauss-Kahn did to her."[3][21][22] On June 7, 2011, Thompson appealed on French television for other women with claims against Strauss-Kahn to come forward.[23]

The next court date is set for July 18, 2011.[20]

Support and opposition

Strauss-Kahn's wife, Anne Sinclair, who was in Paris when he was arrested, said: "I don’t believe for a single second the accusations of sexual assault by my husband."[24] Friends of the couple said their 20 year old marriage remained strong despite the new strains and that the allegations were unlikely to separate them.[25]

While considered a womanizer and characterized by Le Journal du Dimanche as un grand séducteur ("a grand seducer"),[26] a number of close friends nevertheless said the allegations were out of character.[27][28] His previous wife, Brigitte Guillemette, did not deny her former husband was attracted to the opposite sex but insisted that violence was not part of his temperament and that the allegations were "unthinkable and impossible."[29][30] The Spanish writer Carmen Llera, a former lover, defended him in an open letter declaring that " ...violence is not part of his culture."[31]

Journalist and essayist Jean-François Kahn apologised for initially characterizing the allegations as a troussage de domestique ('forcing sex on a servant', an old term from a time when the offense was not considered serious) and retired from journalism.[32][33] Marine Le Pen, leader of the Front National, described Strauss-Kahn as un harceleur quasi-pathologique ("a near-pathological harasser") and criticised both the ruling UMP and Socialist parties for ignoring his flaws.[34] Bernard Debré, a UMP member of the National Assembly of France, remarked that Strauss-Kahn's alleged conduct was "a humiliation for France abroad and for French politics."[35][36]

Conspiracy speculation

Immediately following the arrest, the media speculated that Strauss-Kahn might have been the victim of a setup.[37][38] In an interview with Libération on April 28, 2011, Strauss-Kahn had stated he was "worried his political opponent, Nicolas Sarkozy, would try to frame him with a fake rape".[39][40] Paris politician and advocate of gender equality Michèle Sabban said she was convinced there was an international plot to frame him.[38] Strauss-Kahn's political opponent Henri de Raincourt, a minister from the ruling UMP party, stated, "one cannot exclude thinking about a setup."[1]

A poll conducted two days after the arrest found that some 57% of the French public believed he was the "victim of a smear campaign".[41][42] Le Monde commented that the poll was a violation of the law Guigou, which protects the rights of a person under investigation, calling the conspiracy theories a sign of a "democracy in regression".[43][44]

Two weeks after the arrest, Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin expressed doubts about the allegations. Answering journalists' questions on May 27, Putin said "I find it difficult to assess the political background, and I do not even want to touch upon that subject, but I cannot believe that everything is as it seems and the way it was initially presented."[45][46]

Reactions

The case prompted response from feminists in both the US and France, who criticised French coverage of the allegations and apparent dismissal of the woman's claims. The reaction led to a rally at the Pompidou Centre on May 22, 2011.[47] French sociologist Irène Théry published two articles in Le Monde commenting on the affair and defending French feminism against American attacks.[48][49][50][51]

In response to the allegations UNITE HERE, the biggest union in the hospitality industry, said that hotels should provide sexual harassment training for workers. A Newsweek/Daily Beast poll found it was common for married men to cheat on their wives on business trips, with 3% of poll respondents claiming to have "made a pass at a hotel worker".[52] When Strauss-Kahn appeared in court on June 6, a group of room attendants, members of the New York Hotel Trades Council (NYHTC), arrived on a bus arranged by the union and demonstrated in front of the courtroom.[53][54]

Media coverage

"Media circus" in front of Strauss-Kahn's apartment

CBS News noted that a media circus had begun because the case involved three elements of viewer interest: sex, politics, and money.[55] The media impact of the case after the arrest was measured by the French media analysis firm Kantar Media. They found that during the first ten days of the scandal, 'DSK' appeared on the front page of more than 150,000 national newsapapers around the world.[56][57]

On May 17, Paris Match published the name of the alleged victim. Other French newspapers quickly followed suit in naming her (as have papers in other European and African nations) eventually adding photos and details of her private life.[58][58][59] In the United States, some media do not normally identify by name persons making an accusation of rape, although the rape shield law does not oblige them to avoid naming such a person, and some US newspapers such as the Oakland Post have named her and published her photograph[60].[61]

According to Hugh Schofield of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), images of Strauss-Kahn's post-arrest perp walk by newspapers and television "provoked a national trauma in France far deeper than anyone could have imagined... [and have] ...reawakened an anti-Americanism that is latent in many French souls. ... such humiliating pictures would never be taken in France – indeed the French law on the presumption of innocence bans 'degrading photographs of prisoners awaiting trial'."[62][63][64]

The two men on either side are wearing jackets with gold badges clipped to the lapels and ties. They are holding the arms of the man in the center. A fourth man, also in a jacket and tie, is visible in the rear.
Images of Strauss-Kahn's perp walk after his arrest were condemned in France, where it is illegal to publish them.

Former French justice minister Élisabeth Guigou stated that the media's images of Strauss-Kahn at the police station the morning after his arrest were an expression of "unheard of brutality, cruelty and violence".[62] Strauss-Kahn's socialist friends were "unanimous in their condemnation of the way Strauss-Kahn has been treated in the U.S.".[62] Jack Lang, a former Minister of Culture and Minister of Education, described the published images of Strauss-Kahn as a "lynching". He later apologised.[47][65][1]

In Britain also there has been lots of negative reaction to his perceived unfair treatment: " In today’s wonky world, a bloke can be dragged from a plane in handcuffs, frog-marched to an arraignment surrounded by heavies, have his image plastered all over every tabloid and website on the planet, be told by the Federal Reserve he’s no longer wanted in polite company, refused bail for frankly idiotic reasons, put on a suicide wing – and referred to by a leading feminist journalist as ‘the disgraced Dominic Strauss-Kahn’ before a single piece of evidence has been presented to the jury."[66]

Currently Wikipedia is censoring this widely available information.

Resignation and impact

As a result of the allegations, Strauss-Kahn resigned from his position as head of the International Monetary Fund on May 18, 2011. In his letter of resignation he denied "with the greatest possible firmness" the allegations, saying that his resignation was to protect the institution.[67][68]

Economic

His sudden resignation has led the IMF to search for a replacement, along with creating new political concerns. According to the Washington Post, "Without Strauss-Kahn at the helm, Europe is at risk of losing a key source of financial support in its efforts to contain the debt crisis buffeting the continent", including potential financial bailouts for nations such as Greece and Portugal.[69] U.S. economist Joseph Stiglitz agrees, stressing that because Strauss-Kahn was "an impressive leader of the IMF and re-established the credibility of the institution," the choice of his replacement is important, otherwise "the gains of the institution could easily be lost."[70]

Christine Lagarde (left) announced May 25 her candidacy for the post of managing director of the IMF succeeding Dominique Strauss-Kahn.

According to The Economist, before Strauss-Kahn became head of the IMF, the fund's relevance to global finance was in question. However, his early endorsement of fiscal stimulus for the Eurozone during its financial crisis was accepted and acted upon, with new contributions to the fund being tripled in size. "The Greeks trusted him", writes The Economist, and he was "one of the few non-German policymakers to have had influence over Angela Merkel." "Whatever his personal failings, [he] was an outstanding head of the IMF."[71] In addition, he championed the need to protect poor countries from the effects of fiscal austerity, helping the IMF become "kinder and gentler" to less developed countries.[1] As a result of his arrest, the IMF is in "turmoil," and the choice of his replacement has become "more urgent and more complicated."[1]

Political

Though he had not officially declared his candidacy, Strauss-Kahn had been expected to be a leading candidate for the 2012 French Presidency under the Socialist Party.[72][73] Preliminary polling suggested he was favored to defeat the incumbent, Nicolas Sarkozy,[74] but Strauss-Kahn's arrest has left the French Socialist Party unsure of how to proceed.[73][75] The Economist comments that he was "the candidate with the greatest chance of bringing the Palaeolithic French Socialists into the modern age."[clarification needed][71]
