Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former IMF chief currently employed as an old French pervert, is on trial for pimping and facilitating a global prostitution ring. His testimony so far has been incredible, in that he has said it all with a straight face.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the ex-IMF chief and disgraced French stereotype who escaped rape charges in New York City in 2011, is now being accused of aggravated pimping for his participation in a series of wild sex parties that often employed the talents of prostitutes.

Now that Dominique Strauss-Kahn is back in France and safe from criminal prosecution for rape, his Sofitel maid encounter has entered its "Grassy Knoll" phase in the public imagination: Complicated conspiracy theories abound, even as most accept a much simpler explanation of events. (DSK either forced himself on Nafissatou Diallo or willfully misunderstood a frozen stare of horror as an "unabashed" come-on, is the general consensus, right?)

The convoluted explanations of defenders of French politician and accused rapist Dominique Strauss-Kahn have always centered around calling his accuser, on very slim evidence, a whore. But no, DSK explains in a new biography! She wasn't a whore—she was just a slut.

An outfit called My Porn Production hopes to add one more title to the growing international finance porn genre by making a film about ex-IMF chief/brutal love machine Dominique Strauss-Kahn and his recent hotel sex scandal, which involved rape allegations. Sexy! Will you make a financial donation and support the arts?

"It was worse than a weakness, it was a moral fault of which I am not proud. I regret it infinitely." — Former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn discusses his "encounter" with a hotel worker in his first television appearance since.

The unsatisfying resolution of the Dominique Strauss-Kahn case raises tough questions of race, sex, power, and law. Indeed, this one murky encounter and its muddled aftermath could be used as a prism through which to dissect the very nature of morals in our sometimes unsettling globalized world. Or, you could just say: fuck everybody involved.

It's official: A judge has, as expected, dismissed all charges against Dominique Strauss-Kahn. The ruling won't take effect immediately, however, as the accuser's lawyer has appealed an earlier ruling that denied putting a special prosecutor on the case.

Accused rapist/flasher Dominique Strauss-Kahn, "the great seducer" who was once in charge of extorting developing countries for the International Monetary Fund, could be free to return to France as soon as today if, as expected, sexual assault charges against him are formally dismissed by a judge in New York.

The legal filing on Monday to dismiss charges of sexual assault against Dominique Strauss-Kahn contained within it one crusty footnote, illuminated by the blacklight-wielding investigators of The Smoking Gun: The $3,000-a-night Sofitel suite where the former IMF head stayed last May, and where his accuser said the alleged crime had occurred, contained within it remnants of ejaculate from anywhere from four to seven other men.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former International Monetary Fund chief and living Pepé Le Pew instantiation who was arrested last May for raping a hotel maid, will see the charges against him formally dropped tomorrow, according to his accuser's lawyer.

The fall premiere of beloved rape variety hour Law & Order: SVU will be based on Dominique Strauss-Kahn's hotel maid rape case, TV Guide reports.

Nafissatou Diallo, the hotel maid who says disgraced French politician Dominique Strauss-Kahn raped her, launched a civil lawsuit today.

Regardless of whether he's guilty of allegedly raping a hotel maid, Dominique Strauss-Kahn should probably be kept away from all women, forever. His conduct was so ridiculous that Air France reportedly ordered an all-male flight crew to wait on DSK.

The hotel maid accusing Dominique Strauss-Kahn of attempted rape, Nafissatou Diallo, has spoken out in Newsweek and on ABC News. If you spent the last few weeks being called a hooker and a liar, you'd probably want to give your side of the story, too.

French politician Aurelie Filippetti reportedly told police that she never visited supposed sex-binger Dominique Strauss-Kahn at his Parisian apartment because people warned her that the ex-IMF chief maybe attacked women there. Did she actually call DSK's place a "sex den," though?

Here's some gross and pretty unsurprising Dominique Strauss-Kahn news: The mother of the French woman who has accused DSK of attempted rape, Anne Mansouret said they did it (consensually) and he "took me with the vulgarity of a soldier."
