The former head of the International Monetary Fund appeared in court in Manhattan today, and pleaded not guilty to charges of sexually assaulting a maid at the Sofitel hotel.
Prosecutors say Strauss-Kahn forced the 32-year-old woman to perform oral sex on him.
Kahn wore a dark suit and tie. His wife, also dressed in a dark suit, held his arm. There were protesters outside the court, yelling ‘Shame on you’. Kahn spoke publically for the first time since the scandal broke, saying in court: ‘Not Guilty’.
Kahn’s next court date is in July. The Times has a great breakdown on what may happen next.
