Former IMF chief Dominique Stauss Kahn walks out a free man!

Dominique Strauss Kahn, the controversial former International Monetary Fund chief, who was accused of pimping, has been cleared of all charges. The courtroom drama began four years ago when Kahn was accused of sexual charges in a New York hotel room.

According to an ET report, Strauss Kahn was accused with pimping charges after sex parties took place in a hotel in the northern city of Lille, amidst the growing global financial crisis.

Interestingly, Kahn never denied throwing such parties and also called them ‘recreational sessions’ since there was intense pressure to sail the world economy through the that was building up. He claimed that he did not know that the women who participated were prostitutes.

The women in their testimony described the experience as brutal and not fun for them at all.

It should be noted that the entire scandal unfolded when a New York hotel maid accused him of sexual assault in 2011, thus permanently destroying his ambition to be the French president. However, the case was settled out of court.

Interestingly, Strauss Kahn was not the only one charged in the case. The case had several other accused that included hotel managers, entrepreneurs, a lawyer and a police chief. All of them were charged with indulging in sexual encounters in Paris, Washington and in the Brussels region in 2008-2011, during Strauss-Kahn tenure as the IMF chief. It should be noted that Kahn at that time was much married.
