Strauss-Kahn acknowledges 'moral weakness,' denies violence against maid
What happened regarding a Guinean maid in a luxury New York hotel suite in May was a "moral weakness," French politician Dominique Strauss-Kahn said Sunday in an interview with French television station TF1.
He denied any violence or aggression, but said the incident was "an error, a mistake - a mistake concerning my wife, my children, my friends" as well as the French people "who placed their hope for change in me."
The former International Monetary Fund chief returned to France earlier this month after a long legal battle stemming from allegations made by the maid.
Based largely on the testimony of his accuser, Nafissatou Diallo, a grand jury indicted Strauss-Kahn on seven counts - two counts of criminal sexual act in the first degree, sexual abuse in the first degree, sexual abuse in the third degree, unlawful imprisonment in the second degree, attempt to commit rape in the first degree and forcible touching.
Questions arose over the credibility of Diallo, prompting prosecutors to back off. In August, a New York judge waived the sexual assault charges against Strauss-Kahn.
Strauss-Kahn also said that accusations by French writer Tristane Banon that he attempted to rape her in 2003 are "imaginary."

You madame are a racist!!!!
I think we should continue to allow women to vote and own land
Wow... LOL DSK's understatement of the year a "moral weakness". Who's this guy's PR person?
Actually it was a big bologna.
she gave some head, asked for more money, refused, then she threaten to distroy his political career. did not work move on gold digger!!!!!
Actually, it did work. His political career is destroyed.
yeah but money is the important part and she got none
Did he really even HAVE TO say that?
I don't believe her. Deport her quickly.
A moral weakness, but nothing happened.
I thought that pretty much goes without saying. But, I guess he felt he had to state the obvious.
You lost all credibility when you called a human being a monkey. No matter how distasteful she is, you are worse for spewing racist sentiments.
I Agree they monkey's should sue!
Racist troll
I swear every racist in America hangs out on CNN!
What a change in his facial expression. It wreaks of, "I got away." To which we must add, "Not for long."
Honey, keep your racist comments to yourself. They make you sound ignorant and uneducated.
What I find funny is despite DSK innocents, people are still treating him like a rapist when a maid who wanted 5 mins of fame could have destroyed his family, career, reputation and had him locked up in a strange country for the remainder of his life. Has DSK done anything to harm anyone in the USA? NO1 so why do people still treat him as a rapist when a liar has branded him as a perverted rapist. Really some people need to think before they comment.
