FRANCE-PROSTITUTION-STRAUSSKAHN-TRIAL

An exterior view of the courthouse on January 30, 2015 in Lille. As part of the probe into Dominique Alderweireld or "Dodo la Saumure", a convicted pimp who runs brothels in Belgium, police have uncovered an alleged cross-border prostitution ring involving the managers of the luxury Carlton hotel in Lille, local business leaders and police officials. For International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, accused of allegedly raping a hotel maid in 2011 in New York, the case will come down to whether the court thinks he was aware women provided the sex ring were prostitutes, acted as a pimp by providing an apartment for the sex parties, and initiated the orgies. The pimping charge against Strauss-Kahn is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to 1.5 million euros ($1.7 million). The courtcase begins February 2, 2015.
