IMF accuser Lives in Apartment for HIV victims
By JENNIFER BAIN and BOB FREDERICKS
Last Updated: 10:54 AM, May 18, 2011
Posted: 3:13 AM, May 18, 2011

Dominique Strauss-Kahn may have more to worry about than a possible prison sentence.

The IMF chief's alleged sex-assault victim lives in a Bronx apartment rented exclusively for adults with HIV or AIDS, The Post has learned.


The hotel maid, a West African immigrant, has occupied the fourth-floor High Bridge pad with her 15-year-old daughter since January -- and before that, lived in another Bronx apartment set aside by Harlem Community AIDS United strictly for adults with the virus and their families.

ALLEGED VICTIM SET FOR GRAND JURY TESTIMONY

The Post has not been able to ascertain whether the maid, 32, has HIV/AIDS because of medical confidentiality laws.

But the agency rents apartments only for adults with the disease. A Harlem United worker said at least one adult in the household has to be HIV-positive or have AIDS to qualify for one of their units. A healthy adult with a child with HIV or AIDS is not eligible.


"The [current] apartment isn't rented under her name. Harlem [Community AIDS] United places their tenants in our building," explained an employee of the apartment building's property manager, Chaim Gross, of Brooklyn.

The maid had previously lived in another High Bridge apartment rented by Harlem United, a source said. She had moved there with her child in 2008.

According to the agency, it is not uncommon for people with HIV/AIDS to move around.

Her lawyer, Jeffrey Shapiro, and a close family friend said the chambermaid is a widow who lives alone with her daughter. Public records list her as the only adult in the current apartment and the only adult having lived in her previous apartment.

Neighbors also say it was just her and the child in both places.

The Harlem United workers who talked to The Post were not specifically addressing the maid's living situation, only their agency's housing policies. Officials at Harlem United declined to comment because of confidentiality.

The woman has accused France's leading presidential contender of forcing her to perform oral sex on him twice and then trying to rape her as she tried to clean his Sofitel hotel room in Times Square on Saturday.

She told cops that after he sodomized her, she spit out his semen on the floor, a law-enforcement source said. Investigators are running DNA tests on the sample.

According to the federal Centers for Disease Control: "It is possible for either partner to become infected with HIV through performing or receiving oral sex."

Strauss-Kahn's lawyers declined comment last night.

The humiliated, 62-year-old suspect was ordered held without bail Monday and placed under suicide watch at Rikers Island -- reduced to wearing shoes without laces and a medical device to make sure he's breathing.

"He did not attempt to commit suicide. He went through an evaluation by a shrink, and they put him on watch," a Correction source said of the multimillionaire politico, who has an entire jail wing to himself.

The suspect's defense team has suggested that the pair was involved in a consensual romp.

The alleged victim, whose name is being withheld by The Post, remained in the protective custody of the Manhattan DA's Office.

The woman was under extreme security -- with investigators even intercepting her phone calls to keep her away from possible attempts by Strauss-Kahn cronies to get her to stop cooperating, sources told The Post.

One high-powered lawyer, who was among those trying to reach her to offer to rep her, said, "She could make $6 million, maybe more, just by shutting her mouth."

The maid's close family friend said he received a frantic call from the woman about an hour after her alleged attack, as detectives brought her to the emergency room at St. Luke's Hospital.

"She rang me, and she said, 'Somebody has done something really bad to me. I've been attacked,' " he told the Daily Mail. "She was crying all the time."

Shapiro said his client learned Strauss-Kahn's name only a "day or two" after the alleged attack.

The lawyer added, "There is no civil litigation pending or contemplated at this point.

"She was reunited with her daughter last night," he added.

The developments came as law-enforcement sources said hotel staffers failed to alert cops to the incident for up to three hours -- as Strauss-Kahn fled his room.

Hotel video cameras show the maid running from his room after the alleged attack, which occurred after noon, and into the maid service area on the floor, one source said. There, she called her boss, who arrived 10 to 15 minutes later, and then called another supervisor.

It took 10 to 15 minutes more for that boss to arrive, the source said. Hotel security was then called. About 10 to 15 minutes later, another security worker arrived and called his boss. Meanwhile, Strauss-Kahn apparently fled his room even before the first boss even arrived. It's not clear when cops were finally called. One source said it was after about 3:30 p.m., when Strauss-Kahn called the hotel looking for his cellphone; another said around 2:30 p.m. He was nabbed on a plane just about to depart JFK Airport for France at 4:40 p.m.

A Sofitel rep could not immediately be reached.

Meanwhile, a female reporter for a European paper told the Times of London that last November Strauss-Kahn offered her an exclusive interview, "but I had to go and spend the weekend with him in Paris or somewhere."

"He was incredibly insistent . . . He made it almost explicit that I had to sleep with him for the interview."

Ooops!



Talk about your instant Karma. Wow.

Yah, the hotel video cameras are going to be huge evidence. If she was running and distraught, clearly it wasn't consensual. She would have to be the world's greatest bullshit artist to concoct all of this. Plus, the video cameras would show her doing her daily work up until visiting his room. How would a random room cleaning turn into instant sex?

Again, if they have no history together, he will be found guilty of this and be jailed. The whole thing is pretty amazing. I wonder if they give him bail but take his passport? He can easily fly a private plane to France and seek asylum.

NY police look for DNA in hotel carpet in IMF case

By TOM HAYS AND COLLEEN LONG, Associated Press
43 mins ago

NEW YORK – Investigators cut out a piece of carpet in a painstaking search of a penthouse suite for DNA evidence that could corroborate a hotel maid's claim that IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn tried to rape her, law enforcement officials said Wednesday.

New York detectives and prosecutors believe the carpet in the hotel room may contain Strauss-Kahn's semen, spat out after an episode of forced oral sex, the officials said, speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Meanwhile, Strauss-Kahn, who was ordered held without bail this week after prosecutors argued the well-connected banker might try to flee to his native France and put himself beyond the reach of U.S. law, was scheduled for another bail hearing Thursday. He was arrested Friday and is being held in New York's Rikers Island jail.

In addition to examining the Sofitel Hotel suite for further potential DNA evidence, investigators were looking at the maid's keycard to determine whether she used it to enter the room, and how long she was there, officials said.

One of the officials said that the DNA testing was being "fast-tracked" but that the results could still be a few days away.

The two officials spoke on condition of anonymity because neither was authorized to speak about the case publicly and because it has gone to a grand jury.

The maid, a 32-year-old immigrant from the West African nation of Guinea, told police that the 62-year-old Strauss-Kahn came out of the bathroom naked, chased her down, forced her to perform oral sex on him and tried to remove her underwear before she broke free and fled the room.

The Associated Press does not identify alleged victims of sex crimes unless they agree to it.

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly declined to comment Wednesday on the details of the evidence-gathering but said results of any DNA and other testing have not yet come back. He said the detectives investigating the case found the maid's story believable.

"Obviously, the credibility of the complainant is a factor in cases of this nature," Kelly said. "One of the things they're trained to look for, and what was reported to me early on, was that the complainant was credible."

The Manhattan district attorney's office declined to comment Wednesday, as did one of Strauss-Kahn's attorneys, Benjamin Brafman. Brafman said at his client's arraignment this week that the forensic evidence "will not be consistent with a forcible encounter." That led to speculation the defense will argue it was consensual sex.

In court papers filed Wednesday, Strauss-Kahn's attorneys proposed posting $1 million cash bail and confining him to a Manhattan residence 24 hours a day, along with electronic monitoring. The attorneys had proposed similar conditions at a hearing on Monday, when Strauss-Kahn was denied bail.

Strauss-Kahn is one of France's most high-profile politicians and was seen as a potential candidate for president in next year's elections. His arrest shocked France.

The maid's lawyer, Jeffrey Shapiro, dismissed suggestions from some of Strauss-Kahn's defenders that she made up the charges or tried to cover up a consensual encounter.

The scandal comes at a critical moment for the International Monetary Fund, which is trying to shore up teetering economies in Europe. The IMF is an immensely powerful agency that loans money to countries to stabilize the world economy. In exchange it often imposes strict austerity measures.


Pretty interesting. If his semen is on the floor, I guess she could have done it on purpose knowing she was going to frame him, but come on...dude is so guilty.

Mr. Strauss-Kahn’s bail application gave clues to his potential defense strategy. It recounted his whereabouts on Saturday and suggested that his actions were not consistent with that of a man who had just committed a sex crime, which prosecutors said occurred at noon. Mr. Strauss-Kahn checked out of the hotel at 12:28 p.m. on Saturday, the application said, and then went to lunch a few blocks away at 12:45 p.m.

After lunch, he was driven to Kennedy International Airport to catch a 4:40 p.m. flight to Paris. He had booked the ticket about one week earlier, according to the application.


It does seem totally bizarre that you'd check out and go to lunch after something like this. But if you really were a monster, I guess anything's possible?

This is a different article from the NYT on the key card and how it might be useful in determining what happened:

Hotel Keycard of I.M.F. Chief May Tell a Tale
By JIM DWYER
Under siege by thieves who regularly got their hands on old-fashioned room keys, hotels in New York began using electronic locks on their doors in 1977, led by the fabled, fusty Algonquin. The new keys would be plastic, with a magnetic strip swiped through a card reader on the door.

They would leave an electronic trail, stamped with the times that a door opened, closed or was left ajar.

It is likely that this technology will provide an informative record of traffic in and out of the suite at the Sofitel Hotel where a 32-year-old housekeeper, a widowed immigrant and mother, encountered Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund..

Since Mr. Strauss-Kahn’s arrest on charges of sexual assault, his allies have been busy inflating trial balloons. Benjamin Brafman, a lawyer for Mr. Strauss-Kahn, declared that the evidence was “not consistent with forcible encounter” — inviting, inevitably, the suggestion that no force was evident because none was required. Mr. Brafman thus walked up to the edge of the cliff but did not quite say there had been consensual sex.

As Mr. Strauss-Kahn surely knows from his far-flung travels, the hotels of the world are cleaned by immigrants, most of them women. The women’s vulnerabilities are legion, and in many countries, hoteliers have adopted a raft of precautions to protect staffs and guests.

For example, if a male guest calls for service, the housekeeping department will send up a male attendant.

“Oftentimes, male guests will order the pay-per-view adult movies, and then call for towels, perhaps hoping that a woman will be sent to bring them up,” said Peter M. Krauss, chief sales and marketing officer for Plasticard Locktech International of Asheville, N.C., which provides card keys to hotels. “So whenever they can, the hotels will send up a male if the call comes from a male guest.”

Another policy, he said, is housekeepers do not work behind closed doors.

“With a Sofitel, their standards would dictate the door was either open, or at a minimum, ajar, when housekeeping is in the room,” Mr. Krauss said. This is a practice at virtually all hotels, he said, and can be done with a latch or by leaving a cart in the doorway.

The authorities have said that the housekeeper at the Sofitel knocked on the door to Mr. Strauss-Kahn’s suite, called out to announce herself, used her master keycard to open the door, and left the work cart in the doorway, keeping it open.

“They would have a record of her using the key to gain access,” Mr. Krauss said. “They should have a record of the door remaining open for X period of time, and the door lock being actuated again. The system can differentiate between the guest’s card key and the housekeeper’s master key.”

Inside the suite, the authorities said, the housekeeper entered the bedroom to clean and Mr. Strauss-Kahn then emerged naked from a bathroom and began to attack her. When the woman ran for the door, it is charged, Mr. Strauss-Kahn shut it, an act of unlawful imprisonment.

“They know what time the maid opened that door, propped open that door, and when someone closed that door,” Mr. Krauss said.

If the defense for Mr. Strauss-Kahn maintains that the encounter was consensual, its version will have to accommodate the unambiguous computer record of her leaving the door propped open. It will also have to explain how and when she decided that sex with Mr. Strauss-Kahn was a better use of her time than changing the linens.

The news from France is that many are appalled that Mr. Strauss-Kahn was paraded on the classic perp walk, so he could be photographed in handcuffs. The custom is indisputably unfair to people charged with crimes. The only thing comparable in France might take place annually in Cannes.

Year after year, the director Roman Polanski strolled the red carpet, smiling for the cameras, apparently unworried — and rightly so — that the French authorities would notice that he was a fugitive from justice in Los Angeles, where he had drugged, raped and sodomized a 13-year-old girl. The parallel was striking, a prosecutor said Monday. Mr. Polanski, who took his version of the perp walk as a guilty man, lowered the odds that Mr. Strauss-Kahn, who took his while presumed innocent, will get bail in New York any time soon.

I know you are referring to Polanski and being obnoxious but I'm not really sure who you are being obnoxious to. I assume to France because most Jews I know and that have written op-eds are disgusted by Polanski and think he should be jailed.

Hedge Fund Madam Says She Supplied Prostitutes To Former IMF Chief

May 19 2011 | 1:10pm ET

Where there's a sex scandal, there's a good chance you'll find former hedge fund executive Kristin Davis.

The one-time Brookhaven Capital Management vice president who gave up alternative investments for a career as a prostitution maven—she was jailed for her activities in 2008, helping bring down then-New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer—says she counted former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn as a customer.

"He was a client of my agency," Davis told the Daily Telegraph of Strauss-Kahn, who resigned from the IMF yesterday from his jail cell, where he is being held on charges of sexually assaulting a Manhattan hotel housekeeper.

"When men abuse women, I'm no longer going to protect their identities," Davis added.

Which is not to say that Davis was unaware of Strauss-Kahn's allegedly violent impulses.

"He wanted an 'All-American girl,' with a fresh face, from the Midwest," she said. "A girl in January 2006 complained he was rough and angry, and said she didn't want to see him again."

Later that year, Davis said a Brazilian prostitute said he was "rough" and urged Davis "not to send any new girls to him."

Davis said Strauss-Kahn, who has denied the attempted rape charges against him, called her directly and paid $1,200 for each two-hour session in hotel rooms.

Strauss-Kahn was due back in court today in an effort to be freed on bail. Meanwhile, a top Brazilian hedge fund manager is being mooted as a possible successor to Strauss-Kahn at the Washington, D.C.-based IMF.

Arminio Fraga is in the running for the post, Reuters reports, if only from some distance. The former Soros Fund Management managing director last year sold his US$6 billion hedge fund, Gávea Investimentos, to JPMorgan Chase.

Fraga's candidacy is considered a longshot. For one thing, when he sold Gávea, for as much as US$800 million, he pledged to stay with the hedge fund for at least five years. But, more seriously, European leaders are insisting that the post, traditionally held by a European, go to one of their own. And even if they could be persuaded to give the post to someone from the developing world, the continent's prejudice against hedge funds would certainly play against Fraga.

I agree that mob thinking is bad, but that doesn't mean you can't form your own, personal opinion if you like.
