S2E14 Dominique Strauss-Kahn
Manage episode 386485876 series 3451640
Let us revel in Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s dramatic fall from grace, as he gets in the shit for sexual assault and a whole bunch of other gross and incident activities.

However, in 2011, he was charged with sexually assaulting a maid, Nafissatou Diallo, in New York City, leading to his resignation from the IMF and derailing his political career.
Although he pleaded not guilty and the case was dismissed due to doubts about the victim's credibility, the incident sparked other allegations of sexual misconduct against him. French journalist Tristane Banon accused him of attempted rape, although an investigation into her case was later dropped.
