DSK

The presidential nominee for the centre-left Socialist party is a nerd famous for his lack of star power

Remember DSK, the man poised to become the next French president? He was going to bring the Socialists back into power—until he was accused of sexually assaulting an American hotel maid in New York. (The case against Strauss-Kahn was eventually dropped.) Well, Strauss-Kahn is back in the news and, like every time he’s been mentioned in the past year, the news is linked to a sex scandal. DSK was taken in for questioning by French police today as part of an inquiry into a prostitution ring allegedly operating in the town of Lille. According to Reuters, Police will question DSK to find out “whether he knew that women at sex parties he attended in Paris and Washington were prostitutes.”
