Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former managing director of the International Monetary Fund, one of the most powerful men in relation to the global economy, and father of four daughters, was arrested in New York for sexual assault and attempted rape of a hotel maid, Nafissatou Diallo, at the Sofitel New York Hotel on May 14, 2011. The charges were dismissed at the request of the prosecution, which pointed to serious flaws in Diallo’s credibility and inconclusive physical evidence, but Strauss-Kahn’s credibility and career were damaged for good.
