Strauss Kahn to pay Hotel Maid $6 million. Page 1 of 1 • Share • Strauss Kahn to pay Hotel Maid $6 million. By Raf Sanchez, Washington 3:24PM GMT 30 Nov 2012 15 Comments Although the criminal prosecution against the former head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and one-time French presidential contender collapsed last year, Nafissatou Diallo has pursued her allegations against Mr Strauss-Kahn in the civil courts. Miss Diallo alleged that the 63-year-old forced her to perform oral sex on him while she was cleaning his Manhattan hotel suite in 2011. Mr Strauss-Kahn admitted making the sexual encounter but denied attacking her. To finance the out-of-court deal, Mr Strauss-Kahn will take out a $3 million bank loan and borrow the rest from his estranged wife, Anne Sinclair, according to Le Monde. Ms Sinclair, an American journalist and millionaire, stood by her husband throughout the scandal and provided bail money after his arrest but the pair finally separated this summer and now live on opposite sides of Paris. The settlement with Miss Diallo is reportedly due to be confirmed before a New York judge next week but sources close to the case warned that the deal could still fall apart.

If a settlement is reached it will bring a close to the chapter that destroyed the Frenchman's career at the top level of international finance. However, it will not mark the end of his legal difficulties as he waits to hear whether a French court plans to press ahead with charges of "aggravated pimping". Prosecutors allege that he was involved in a prostitution ring run out of a luxury hotel in Lille. Mr Strauss-Kahn admits attending the "libertine" parties but said he did not know the women involved were prostitutes and his lawyers are seeking to have the charges dismissed. The court's ruling is due on December 19.

But Mr Strauss-Kahn's legal team says he had no idea they were prostitutes, and that there is no evidence to support a formal charge of pimping.

Mr Strauss-Kahn, who is reportedly taking steps to reinvent himself as a highly paid consultant and conference speaker, has said the authorities are trying to "criminalise lust".

In October, French prosecutors ended an investigation into allegations of "gang rape" at a hotel in Washington after the woman who made the claim retracted her evidence. Magistrates also dropped a sexual assault case brought by French author Tristane Banon on the grounds that the alleged 2003 incident had taken place too long ago.

Francuski tužitelji u četvrtak su odustali od istrage optužbe za pokušaj silovanja, koju je novinarka i spisateljica Tristane Banon podnijela protiv bivšeg izvršnog direktora MMF-a Dominique Strauss-Kahna, prenose mediji Tužiteljstvo je objavilo da dokazi ukazuju na seksualno zlostavljanje, što je manje ozbiljan prekršaj od pokušaja silovanja, i ima kraći rok zastare. Banon je optužila Strauss-Kahna za pokušaj silovanja 2003. godine, dok je s njim radila intervju. Njezina optužba pojavila se kad je Strauss-Kahn optužen za silovanje sobarice u New Yorku, u predmetu u kojem je optužba kasnije odbačena, izvijestio CNN. Francuski tužitelji su u priopćenju naveli kako je 'jasno da, zbog nedostatka dokaza, tužiteljstvo ne može pokrenuti postupak za pokušaj silovanja, no činjenice pokazuju da se slučaj može opisati kao seksualno zlostavljanje'. Prema francuskom zakonu, zastara za pokušaj silovanja je deset godina, a za seksualno zlostavljanje je tri godine. Odvjetnik Tristane Banon odluku je opisao kao pobjedu: 'Strauss-Kahn će se morati zadovoljiti da je neosuđeni seksualni napadač, zaštićen zastarom, koja mu je omogućila da izbjegne kazneni progon, ali ne i legitimnu sumnju', rekao je odvjetnik David Koubbi. Strauss-Kahnova odvjetnica je izjavila kako odluka znači da je njezin klijent 'potpuno očišćen' od optužbi. Strauss-Kahn je podnio ostavku na mjesto direktora Međunarodnog monetarnog fonda (MMF) nakon što ga je hotelska sobarica u New Yorku optužila za pokušaj silovanja ranije ove godine. Još uvijek je tuženik u građanskoj parnici u SAD-u koju je pokrenula njegova navodna žrtva u New Yorku, sobarica Nafissatou Diallo. - Sviđa vam se članak?
