Was Strauss-Kahn framed?
In an earlier entry, Jim C. offered this guess about the DSK case:
Accuser is either Hispanic or black. The said “victim” voluntarily gave oral sex to IMF guy (for a fee, whatever). After the sex act, “victim” grows a conscience (for whatever reason). “Victim” calls the police.
Now he writes:
I’m right again. A news report says:
Police said a 32-year-old cleaning woman accused Mr. Strauss-Kahn of sexually assaulting her in the Sofitel Hotel near Times Square. The alleged victim, a native of Guinea and mother of two, said she entered room 2806, a $3,000-a-night luxury suite, around 12 p.m. on Saturday to clean it, thinking it was empty, according to a law-enforcement official with knowledge of the case.
Guinea is West Africa. Based on the fact that sexual attacks by white men on black women are extremely rare, I’m now 90 percent convinced that this is Tawana Brawley divided by Crystal “Precious” Mangum.
LA replies:
In response to the belief of some in France that this was a frame-up, the NYT in the article I posted previously quotes a French political scientist who says: “If all this was a trap, he wouldn’t have fled in a panic.”
At the same time,
the idea that DSK, as the French call him (probably in order to avoid the annoyance of writing or speaking his pretentiously hyphenated name), would, without any build-up or preliminaries, charge naked out of his bathroom and begin sexually attacking a lowly black immigrant hotel maid, is so strange it’s hard to believe.
But here’s another way of looking at it. DSK according to all accounts is accustomed to getting his way with women, including by forcing himself on them. As a person gives himself more and more over to sin, the sin takes him over and he progressively loses any control over himself. Thus DSK’s mad criminal attack on the maid.

Well, if that’s the problem, the explanation is easy: she started out a volunteer, then got cold feet. Perhaps she realized he was French. He got rough. She got away. Rather than tell a story which makes her sound bad and his misdeed murky, she tells a small lie, mostly by omission (which is much easier to do if you’re not good at lying).
This is much easier to believe of DSK, and would still explain him running away.

Maybe it all boils down to a woman who did the deed, then had a change of heart. Any time a woman screams “rape” in this country, she is believed. Brawley, Mangum, and many sweet young things who end up costing a male college student his place in school and any future he was striving for.
I believe this will prove to be another such case and will disappear from the news with nary a further word.

It is improbable that the staff of a luxury hotel chain such as Sofitel would call the police on one of its most powerful guests unless the maid in question was extremely upset and highly believable.
It seems from the press accounts that Strauss-Kahn, who has been married three times, has a very damning personal history. It may take a lowly immigrant maid to expose a powerful man because, unlike the French journalist who said she was attacked by Strauss-Kahn, she is unconscious of who he is.
He may have been viewing pornography on his laptop and decided to call for a maid, who turned out to be someone who was very unwilling.
Jim C. writes:
French government minister says set-up is possible:
“We cannot rule out the thought of a trap,” Henri de Raincourt, minister for overseas co-operation in President Nicolas Sarkozy’s government, said in a broadcast interview.
“I refuse to have a personal opinion and say, ‘Yes it was a trap,’ or ‘No, it wasn’t a trap.’ I don’t know,” he said.
“I note that this has happened just after the affair of the car and the suit in a short space of time,” he added, referring to sniping at the Socialist presidential hopeful for using a Porsche and wearing tailor-made clothes.

Wrong, just the opposite. Hotel managers are always worried about bogus lawsuits, so they will always call police if they feel that not calling would cost them a stiff civil judgment. And it is a fact that false reporters are expert drama queens: see Tawana Brawley and Crystal Mangum. I want to know more on the accuser’s background, and I want to see her photo (remember the Duke lacrosse case? When Mangum’s photo was released white people had a good laugh).
Jim C. writes:
In Mala Fide argues that the accuser is fabricating the story.
Laura Wood writes:
Healthy skepticism is justified in sexual assault charges against a famous man, but Ferdinand Bardamu at In Mala Fide, in the post Jim C. refers to, displays the knee-jerk reaction of the manosphere:
Wait, what? A hitherto well behaved, civilized man, suddenly goes crazy? Just because he was naked, he wanted to take advantage of her and rape her?
A little background information on Strauss-Kahn would have improved the piece.
LA replies:
A little background information? All Bardamu had to do was read one newspaper article. Every article about the affair has referenced DSK’s notorious history of having his way with women. But maybe that’s what Bardamu means by “a well behaved, civilized man.”
Robert B. writes:
Given the fact that DSK and the IMF have been touting the dumping of the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency and going to a global money unit, wouldn’t it be funny if the CIA had set him up knowing about his precious sexual predatory behavior? Now that’s something that I could get behind. The French have been after the dollar ever since their 50’s-60’s run on our gold reserves.
