Strauss-Kahn cleared of gang rape charge as victim retracts allegations | Former International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn has been cleared of charges that he participated in the gang rape of a prostitute in a Washington hotel. The charges were dropped
after the alleged victim had changed her story to tell police that the group sex
with prostitutes at an orgy in Washington DC was 'consensual', prosecutors have
revealed.
Strauss-Kahn was accused by the prostitute named Marion of using force
against her and other girls during the sex session in December 2010. The prostitute
earlier said that Strauss-Kahn had tried to subject her to degrading acts, the
Daily Mail reports. But judicial officials said that the woman had now retracted
her statement. "She has retracted her deposition in a letter sent to judicial
police. She said that in fact the sex was consensual and that the group was playing
sexual games," the paper quoted a judicial source, as saying.
"The investigators, who believe they have gone as far as they can with their inquiries, have sent
the file back to the prosecutors and a shelving of the inquiry will follow," the
source added. The 63-year-old disgraced French politician, however, still stands
accused of conspiring with pimps to procure girls for sex parties around the world.
