...becaus it couldn't be a simpler explanation, like he is an old sexual pervert, righ?
You may well be right, but at the moment we have no idea what really happened.
Although the media have already passed sentence, in the eyes of the law he is still innocent until proven other wise.
At the moment an 'innocent' man is in jail and has resigned his position in the IMF and most likely lost the possibility of becoming French PM.
If he's a sex mad rapist then he's getting what's coming to him. If he is in fact innocent then you'd have to say there is something very wrong with the American judicial system and the western media, that a mere accusation can destroy a mans life?
In 2007, Tristane Banon, a French journalist and writer, accused Strauss-Kahn of attempting to rape her in 2002, but she did not press charges.[32][33][34][35] As of 17 May 2011, mainstream media were reporting that Banon was preparing to file a legal complaint relating to the alleged attack.[36]
Funny that with big court cases all these stories start coming out, any yet 9 years have passed and she did nothing.
In 2008, the IMF Board appointed an independent investigator following allegations that Strauss-Kahn had had an affair with a subordinate, Piroska Nagy, who was married at the time to economist Mario Blejer.
There has been research done that shows that as much as 1 in 5 married couples in the United States has cheated on their partner or roughly 20%. If your saying having an affair makes you a sexual deviant then you better lock up 20% of the population. The fact he had an affair is irrelevant to the charges against him.
