French Proseuctor Will Not Charge Dominique Strauss-Kahn For Alleged Rape
Dominique Strauss-Kahn will not be prosecuted in France for an alleged attempted rape on journalist Tristane Bannon.
The Paris prosecutor's office on Thursday dropped an investigation into a writer's claim that Dominique Strauss-Kahn tried to rape her, citing lack of sufficient proof, though it said the former IMF chief admitted to a lesser charge of sexual assault.
The prosecutor said there was evidence of sexual aggression but that charge was beyond the statute of limitations.
The statute of limitations on sexual aggression is three years; on the greater charge of attempted rape, it's 10 years. While DSK admitted the aggression, he denied that he attempted to rape Bannon.
