In reply to the discussion: New Sex Allegations Against Dominique Strauss-Kahn [View all]Surya Gayatri
(15,445 posts)4. Here in France, he's now considered as
"un malade", a sicko. Thanks to many enablers, including his wife, this behavior has been going on for years.
One of my female students works in the upper echelons of the French government and has had direct experience of his "satyriasis".
Ten or fifteen years ago, he came across her in her place of work. He hit on her immediately, saying: "How about having a drink and then we can go to a hotel if you like..."
She's not a woman to mince her words and she sent him packing. But, the memory of his effrontery is still fresh.
He is a serial abuser of position and power and uses them to feed his sexual addiction.
A tragic story of Greek proportions. He's a brilliant man and probably would have made a great Président de la République.

Where there's smoke, there's fire. That guy is looking more and more like a rapist and a predator.

He is charged with "aggravated procurement in an organized gang," the legal term for pimping.

There's also the pimp component. Absolutely no comparing this pig with JFK and Clinton.

I support trying rapists (when the rape is real) and also prosecuting sex harassment.
