Strauss-Kahn lawyers fight against prostitutes claim

By Saskya Vandoorne, CNN

Lawyers for Dominique Strauss-Kahn pushed back Tuesday against allegations that he facilitated prostitution in France, saying there was "no significant evidence" the former International Monetary Fund chief knew young women at parties he attended were being paid for sex.

Other suspects held over an investigation into prostitution centered around the city of Lille "said that Dominique Strauss-Kahn did not know that these women were being paid," Strauss-Kahn's lawyer Henri Leclerc said in a press conference.

"We hear that these women say otherwise. Well, no! I can tell you these women do not say otherwise," he said.

Strauss-Kahn was formally warned Monday that he is under investigation for "aggravated pimping" for accusations that he participated in a prostitution ring, prosecutors said.

    Srauss-Kahn hasn't been accused of smoking anything. He's accused of paying some hags to service him and then *Bill Clintoning* that as far as he knew, it was a freebie.

    If they are smoking after intercourse, they are probably not doing it right.
