International Monetary Fund Director, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, has been allegedly involved in another sexual assault back in 2002.
On Saturday, Strauss-Kahn was detained and charged with sexual assault by the prosecution in New York City. According to the charges, he has sexually attacked a 32-year old maid in a hotel and refused to let her go.
In 2002, Tristane Banon who was in her 20s and writing a book, approached Strauss-Kahn for an interview and, in her words, ended up being sexually attached by him.
"When we were fighting, I mentioned the word 'rape' to make him afraid, but it didn't have any effect. I managed to get out," Banon said in a TV programme in 2007, in which Strauss-Kahn's name had been bleeped out, according to The Guardian.
Banon's mother, Anne Mansouret, spoke before the media Sunday, stating she had discouraged her daughter from legal action due to his close links with her family, adding she now feels sorry for that piece of advice.
