Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s trial for aggravated pimping charges began in France earlier this month, and the ex-chief of the International Monitary Fund’s sex practices are being picked apart. Strauss-Kahn took the stand twice in court this week, he maintains that he didn’t know the women at the parties were hookers.
Honest mistake?
Reports CNN:
Former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn conceded Wednesday that his approach to sex is rougher than that of most men, as he took the stand for a second day in his trial in France on aggravated pimping charges.
His words followed testimony from two sex workers about his behavior at sex parties he’s accused of organizing or encouraging in Europe and the United States. He denies knowing that the women involved in the parties were prostitutes.
One, named only as Mounia R., told the court in the northern French city of Lille that Strauss-Kahn had “brutal” sexual relations with her and must have known she was being paid.
A second, named as Jade, told the court that she had been subjected to an “unsolicited” sexual act by Strauss-Kahn — who’s commonly known by his initials, DSK — after going to a party at the Tantra sex club in Belgium.
“Through this trial, I am discovering that my sexuality is perhaps rougher than most men’s sexuality. If some women don’t like it, it’s their right. But my behavior is the same with all women,” Strauss-Kahn said.
The 65-year-old is charged along with 13 others, and has also denied allegations that he helped organize the sex parties.
For the record, prostitution is legal in France. Pimping is against the law.
