Dominique Strauss-Kahn faces protests at Cambridge university address

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, former head of the International Monetary Fund – who faces civil action over sexual assault allegations by a New York hotel maid and questions over alleged links to a prostitution ring in France – will be greeted by protesting students ahead of his planned address to the Cambridge Union Society on Friday night.

The university student union's Women's Campaign has invited the lawyer representing Nafissatou Diallo, the New York maid, to address a separate debate on the case just hours before the French politician is due to speak on the global economy.

Douglas Wigdor, Diallo's attorney, is set to speak at the university's law faculty before the planned demonstration outside the union building.

Strauss-Kahn, 62, known as DSK in France and a former French presidential frontrunner, quit as head of the IMF last May amid claims, which he denied, that he sexually assaulted Diallo. Criminal charges against him were dropped by US prosecutors in August. Diallo is now pursuing civil action for monetary damages.

This thread will either sink like a stone or it will become a catalog of a thousand excuses about why the feminist rage is misplaced.

Is Strauss Kahn pro choice? If so, he can pretty much get away with anything.

I'd say so. Blonde, brunette, black, white, he's good wit it.

His main selling point is that he's a Socialist, and so can do no wrong in the DUmps eyes.
