'He was a rutting chimpanzee': French journalist says IMF boss tried to rape her TOO
DailyMail.UK ^ | 5/16/11 | Peter Allen

Dominique Strauss-Kahn underwent forensic tests today following his arrest on sex attack charges in New York - as a second woman in Paris reported him for attempted rape.

The 62-year-old head of the International Monetary Fund, who was tipped to become the President of France next year, ‘vigorously’ denies the claims made by an unnamed American chamber maid.

But now Tristane Banon, the 31-year-old god-daughter of Strauss-Kahn’s second wife Brigitte Guillemette, said he attacked her almost a decade ago.

"SNIP"

Ms Banon’s mother, Anne Mansouret, said the only reason she did not press charges at the time was because 'she was just starting out in journalism' and was afraid of being 'defined by the story' of being attacked by a senior politician Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1387621/Tristane-Banon-says-raped-IMF-chief-Dominique-Strauss-Kahn.html#ixzz1MWilN500

Just like NOW and their ilk protected Clinton because he had the “correct stance on women’s issues”! Stupid witches who are willing to allow some of their number to be raped if it means abortions remain legal.

Yes, very much a Socialist. In fact the posters at CNN are busy defending him as having been set up for just that reason. He’s a good Socialist and man of the workers who just happened to be staying in a $3,000 a night hotel room and flying first class.

Yeah, he was known as a player.

They called him “The Seducer”.

Evidently getting away with it for so long made him bold...

Remember Juanita Bodderick?

The striking thing about Bodderick’s story is that detailed fact checking shows absolutely no inconsistencies, as to time and place. Clinton was involved in a political campaign at the time and his campaign diaries and news coverage are available to researchers. There is a hole in his whereabouts precisely at the time she says she was raped and he was in the general vicinity in the times prior to and afterwards. Clinton is one sick puppy. I’ve had the hots for certain women when I was young and frisky, but never, ever dreamed of trying to corner them and rape them. Not even dreamed or fantasized about it. My fantasies are completely of the consensual type.

Disgusting, but not surprising, coming from a leftist.

I wonder how much this might help Le Pen and the National Front?

How do we know he was fleeing the country?

This timeline is going too fast. Yhr press is focused on this like an obssession.

There is more to this than meets the eye.

I said "allegedly" - he was certainly leaving the country, maybe fleeing.

I'm sure there's more to the story, there always is. I was just noting that the fact that it was immediately in the news was because he had a high profile, news making arrest at JFK airport. There's no need for a conspiracy as to why the news ran with it.

What is "Yhr press"? There's been a bit of coverage here, but nothing overwhelming. I would imagine its a much bigger story in Europe and particularly France.

According to reports, he was arrested ON THE PLANE, and had left his personal belongings behind.

What would you call that ?

He obviously doesn’t have friends like as Bill Clinton had.
