Former IMF Chief Accused Of Rape Moves To Luxury Townhouse

Dominique Strauss-Kahn

Former IMF chief, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who resigned his post when he was arrested and indicted in New York on rape charges, has moved to a luxury townhouse in downtown Manhattan. The $50,000 per month Tribeca rental is even more luxurious than the apartment he fled on 71 Broadway, after the media circus surrounding him became too much for residents of the building.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn

Former IMF chief, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who was arrested on rape charges last week, is now free on bail. However, he is on house arrest and has been fitted with a tracking device that is an ankle cuff, as apart of the terms of his release.

Strauss-Kahn, a resident of Paris, France and Washington, DC, is spending his time on house arrest at the luxury apartment building located at 71 Broadway in New York City. He is also paying for armed security at a cost of $200,000 per month, to satisfy the terms of his bail.

As the pictures in this article illustrate, Mr. Strauss-Kahn will be quite comfortable in his luxurious surroundings, but who could enjoy it with the weight of a possible prison sentence of significant time, hanging over one’s head. Still, it's better than Rikers.

Some residents are not happy about Strauss-Kahn living in the building, due to the presence of the press and the fact it has reportedly become a tourist attraction. Building managers are trying to reassure residents, but the reality of life at the building has changed, due to the unwelcome attention.

UPDATE: Newer press reports are indicating, Strauss-Kahn's accuser is not Ophelia Famotidina, but Nafissatou Diallo click here

Ophelia Famotidina has been identified in the French press as the woman alleging rape against IMF Chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who has a history of sexual harassment and assault

Pretty 32-year-old Guinea citizen and legal U.S. immigrant, Ophelia Famotidina, is reportedly the woman who has accused IMF chief, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, of forcing her into oral and anal sex against her wishes. She took the stand in court today, to tell her side of the story.

Famotidina is a black female from West Africa, who lives in New York. She is also a Muslim. Guinea is a country that comes from French rule. Strauss-Kahn was born in France as well and may have (previously) struck up a rapport with her based on this fact.

She accuses Strauss-Kahn of running out of the bathroom naked and grabbing her. He then allegedly dragged her into the bathroom and bedroom, where the sexual assault is said to have taken place. Strauss-Kahn has been denied bail and a new judge may be brought in to replace Melissa Jackson.

Reports in the New York Post indicate, the woman IMF Chief, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, is accused of sexually assaulting and sodomizing, lives in a New York apartment block for HIV and AIDS patients. If the accusations again Strauss-Kahn prove to be true in court, this could mean a terminally ill woman was put through the additional trauma of rape. How awful. That poor lady.

This would also mean, Strauss-Kahn, who is accused of forcing the maid to have oral sex twice and anally raping her, would be HIV positive as well. There are some people thought to be immune to HIV, but I am currently of the belief, if a human is exposed to the virus in a thorough and direct manner, infection will occur.

The Woman Dominique Strauss-Kahn Is Accused Of Raping Is Named In The European Press

The London Telegraph is reporting, the 32-year-old African maid that IMF chief, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, is accused of raping and sodomizing, has been named in the French press. Strauss-Kahn has denied raping her, stating the sex was consensual. The New York District Attorney disagrees and as such, the IMF chief is being held without bail, in New York's infamous Riker's Island Prison. The evidence against Strauss-Kahn does not look good. If DNA is successfully employed, coupled with his well-publicized past history, provided it is not disallowed by the judge, the case will result in a conviction.

Initially, it was reported the 32-year-old woman was from Ghana. Recent reports have since indicated, she is an immigrant from Guinea, who is the mother of a 14-year-old girl. It was only a matter of time before her identity was exposed. This has become one of the biggest stories in the world and bribes will be issued by news media in several nations for information on the alleged victim.

News coming out of France reveals outrage that Strauss-Kahn was perp walked and according to some, denied the presumption of innocence. It is being said, in France, the custom is for criminals to be perp walked after conviction in court. As a result, some believe Strauss-Kahn is being treated differently, as he is French.

People should bear in mind, Strauss-Kahn is one man and does not represent all of France and every Jewish person on the planet (the latter is being brought up as well). He is one individual and only represents himself.

Therefore, it is wrong for anyone to use this case, which hasn't even been tried, to slur nations and ethnic backgrounds. France is a wonderful country and there are many law abiding Jewish people all over the world that have not hurt a soul.

However, there is a bias in this - much of the handling of the Strauss-Kahn arrest, leads right back to the hurdles the U.S. government faced in the Roman Polanski case, where the director was accused of rape, fled, then dodged extradition, refusing to return to America. The U.S. government refused to allow Strauss-Kahn to return to France and denied him bail, due to how the Polanksi case unfolded. Different countries have different laws and each will act according to what they deem fit.

IMF chief and politician, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, was arrested in New York, for raping a hotel Sofitel maid, in a case he did not cite diplomatic immunity, though it may have been available to him. Women from different walks of life have also accused him of sexually assaulting or harassing them in other incidents. A French lawmaker and separately Kahn's ex-wife's goddaughter, Tristane Banon, are among his accusers. Some find it hard to believe, women from different nations, with so much to lose, are conspiring to defame him.

Kahn's has also incriminated himself, as he fled his hotel suite after the alleged rape, leaving his mobile phone and other possessions behind, in order to catch the next flight out of the country to his destination. According to New York Assistant District Attorney, John A. McConnell, CCTV footage revealed Kahn to be "a man who was in a hurry" when he left the hotel.

He was hauled off the airplane in handcuffs, 10 minutes before take off and detained for a police line up, where his accuser positively identified him as her assailant. She was then escorted out of the police station under a blanket for privacy. To be clear, it is being reported, Kahn forced the Ghanaian immigrant, who worked as a hotel maid, to perform oral sex on him, then he anally raped her. Blood was found on the bed. Police extracted DNA from him and the alleged victim.

Kahn is being held at the notorious Riker's Island prison, on no bail, where ironically, some inmates would do to him, what he is accused of doing to the maid, had the police not placed him in solitary confinement in a small cell for his own protection. It's a far cry from what he is used to, living in mansions in Washington, DC and France, dining in the finest restaurants and staying at luxurious hotels.

The influential head of the IMF, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, 62, has been arrested by U.S. authorities and denied bail, for attempting to rape a Ghanaian maid in his $3,000 per night Sofitel New York hotel suite.

The unnamed maid told authorities, a naked Kahn sprang out of the bathroom, into the living room, then dragged her to the bedroom of the suite, forcing her to perform oral sex on him. A few years ago, pretty French author, Tristane Banon, alleged she had to physically fight off Kahn, as he sexually assaulted her. There was also a 2008 incident, where Kahn was reprimanded for having an improper sexual relationship with an IMF worker.

South African rugby star, Vincent Mdunge, 34, has been arrested for the murder of three men in Durban. The former Blue Bulls player, hacked three men to death, decapitating one, for gang raping his young daughter and infecting her with HIV.

It is a tragic case of violence begetting violence. It is understandable that Mdunge would be infuriated and devastated, due to the great injustice that happened to his daughter. However, it is regrettable he took the law into his own hands and committed three murders.
