If you chase and sexually assault a maid in a hotel in the United States you are going to jail.  Read the CNN report here:

New York (CNN) — The head of the International Monetary Fund was in court Monday to answer allegations that he chased a housekeeping employee down the hall of his swanky New York hotel suite and tried to sexually assault her.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s arraignment was delayed a day after he agreed to forensic testing requested by police, said his attorney, William Taylor. The IMF chief’s other attorney, Benjamin Brafman, vowed Sunday to vigorously defend him in court, insisting his client is innocent.

Police allege Strauss-Kahn sexually assaulted the 32-year-old woman Saturday at the Sofitel hotel in Manhattan, and then quickly headed off to a New York airport to board a Paris-bound flight.

The arrest of the 62-year-old, widely considered a leading potential candidate for the French presidency, has triggered intense political chatter across the Atlantic. In France, it delivered what newspaper Le Figaro called a “thunderclap” to the presidential race. The allegations also triggered disappointment within Strauss-Kahn’s Socialist party; some at the party’s headquarters were in tears on Monday.

The arrest also disrupted the rhythm of the IMF, which assists countries suffering economic difficulties by providing loans and is a major player in economic inequalities and crises worldwide.

The world got its first look Sunday at Strauss-Kahn since his arrest as the handcuffed IMF chief was taken by New York Police detectives from a police station to the Manhattan Criminal Court building to await his arraignment.

Strauss-Kahn’s accuser picked the IMF chief out of a line-up Sunday at a New York police station, singling him out as the man who had sexually assaulted her, according to a law enforcement source who has direct knowledge of the investigation.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, was not authorized to release details to the media.

Strauss-Kahn, who has been charged with attempted rape and unlawful imprisonment, willingly consented to physical and forensic examinations that had been requested by police, Taylor said. Those tests were conducted Sunday night.
