What was former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn up to on the weekend he was arrested for sexually assaulting a hotel worker? Why, just "[blowing] off steam before the French presidential race" by having sex with three women!

According to the New York Times, there is security footage of former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn at his hotel in the early hours of May 14, the day he allegedly sexually assaulted a maid. And he was accompanied by an unidentified woman.

This past weekend, the New York Post branded the maid who accused Dominique Strauss-Kahn of rape "A HOOKER," based on a single anonymous source, who said it was so. Now, she is suing them for libel. Makes sense.

Former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn has been released from house arrest without bail, after revelations that his accuser might be so unreliable that the case won't hold up.

The Manhattan district attorney's office yesterday filed a transcript of 17 statements made by Dominique Strauss-Kahn during and after his arrest on sexual assault charges last month. The Times has details of the statement, a voluntary disclosure form, that should be presented to defense attorneys. So, what were DSK's first hours in custody like? It took him a little while to really figure out what was going on:

Tribecan patio decorator and ex-IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn will be arraigned Monday on charges related to his alleged attempt to rape a hotel maid, say reports. Sources believe he'll claim that "police irregularities" messed up his arrest. Speaking of that, did you know he was "arrested like a chicken thief?"

If you haven't been reading the New York Post's coverage of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, well, then you really should be. The DSK story was tailor made for the Post: Snooty, filthy rich Frenchman allegedly sexually assaults a hotel maid in AMERICA. How does that sit with your Freedom Fries?

There are not any funny jokes to be made about alleged sexual assault. On the other hand, this 2009 photo of alleged sexual assaulter Dominique Strauss-Kahn meeting the Obamas is pretty funny, now. Ace job with the gentle restraint there, Prez. Because you know that Dominique Strauss-Kahn! Always (allegedly) goin' nuts around the ladies (unless a court of law determines otherwise).

It's only Tuesday, and already former IMF chief turned accused sexual assaulter Dominique Strauss-Kahn is having a remarkably bad PR week. After yesterday's leaks alleging that his DNA was found on the alleged victim's shirt—and that he asked her "Don't you know who I am?"—this morning brings a new alleged embarrassment: a payoff attempt! Allegedly.

Investigators have reportedly matched a DNA sample from ex-IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn to "material" taken from the shirt of the hotel maid he's accused of assaulting. Other possible DNA evidence is still waiting for test results; till then, prosecutors have been leaking details about the alleged sexual assault — including Strauss-Kahn's purported egocentric overtures to his accuser.

Former IMF head and accused sexual assaulter Dominique Strauss-Kahn won the right leave Riker's Island yesterday in exchange for $1 million bail, and home detention. But first, he needs a home in which to be detained.

Following a mental health evaluation, accused rapist and International Monetary Fund head Dominique Strauss Kahn has been put on suicide watch at Rikers Island Prison. But don't worry, M. Strauss-Kahn! Hack economist/game show host Ben Stein is on your case!
