Dominique Strauss-Kahn Held in Hooker Orgy Investigation
An ex-French official formerly accused of sexually assaulting a hotel maid in New York City is being questioned by police again, this time over his alleged involvement in illegal, prostitution-serviced orgies in France.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former head of the International Monetary Fund and once likely French presidential favorite, arrived at a police station in Lille, France, today where he will be interrogated by police for up to 48 hours for allegedly "procuring" a handful of hookers for an orgy in the northern French town, an official close to the investigation told ABC News.
Strauss-Kahn's alleged involvement in several orgies involving prostitutes -- from Paris to Washington D.C. -- came to light during a wider police investigation into a prostitution ring that began last fall, according to French and international news services.
Dubbed "The Carlton Affair" by the French media after one of the hotels in Lille were the alleged parties took place, the investigation has also reportedly implicated several hotel employees, a lawyer and a high ranking police official in France.
One of Strauss-Kahn's lawyers, Henri Lecleric, told reporters his client wanted to tell his side of the story. In December, Lecleric defended Strauss-Kahn, saying that though his client certainly participated in the orgies, he was "blissfully unaware" anyone involved could be a prostitute.
"He could easily not have known, because as you can imagine, at these kinds of parties you're not always dressed, and I challenge you to distinguish a naked prostitute from any other naked woman," Leclerc reportedly told French radio Europe 1 then.
