Dominique Strauss-Kahn has been accused of raping a Belgian prostitute during a wild party in a Washington, DC, hotel room as another man held her down, it was revealed yesterday.
The former International Monetary Fund boss “used force, he held down my hands, he pulled my hair, he hurt me” during the Dec. 16, 2010, attack in the W Hotel, the 25-year-old prostitute, identified only as Marie-Anne, told Belgian police.
“I refused and told him no. I did not want to. I tried to get loose, but it was complicated, because he was on me and he is very heavy,” Marie-Anne told investigators, according to the French newspaper Libération.
The married Strauss-Kahn also allegedly sodomized the woman while another man held her arms down.
A second prostitute told investigators she was in the room and did not hear Marie-Anne “say no” — but saw that she did not like what was happening to her, Le Figaro reported.
The bombshell allegations against DSK were revealed by French prosecutors, who said investigating judges in the city of Lille have asked for permission to expand a current pimping probe of Strauss-Kahn to include Marie-Anne’s claims.
She never made a criminal complaint to DC police but detailed her claims to Belgian authorities.
Strauss-Kahn is being probed for alleged ties to a prostitution ring based in Lille that catered to prominent people. Escorts have told investigators they had sex with DSK at several locations in Paris and DC, where he lived while with the IMF.
The alleged Washington rape came five months before Strauss-Kahn was arrested in New York on charges of sexually assaulting a maid at Manhattan’s Sofitel hotel.
That criminal case was dropped because prosecutors had serious doubts about accuser Nafissatou Diallo’s credibility. She is currently suing DSK in Bronx Supreme Court.
Diallo’s lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, asked the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office to reopen the criminal case.
“We’ve always said that the indictment should not have been dismissed and [that] a proper investigation should have been done into his pattern of misconduct . . . This [new allegation] is further evidence of that,” he said.
A DA spokeswoman declined to comment.
“Strauss-Kahn absolutely contests having committed the slightest violence of any nature and notes that the declarations made by the young women are contradictory,” DSK’s lawyers said yesterday.
