New York: IMF Chief and top French politician Dominique Strauss Kahn has been arrested at Kennedy Airport in charge of harassing a Manhattan hotel maid.
Three Port Authority officials took Khan into custody in the plane’s first-class cabin just two minutes before it was due to depart for Paris, said police sources.
Khan, 62, was turned over to NYPD officers from the Midtown South precinct.
The report alleges that Strauss-Kahn forced a maid at the Sofitel to perform oral sex on him.
He has been seen as a potential future candidate for Prime Minister of France.
This is not the first time he has been involved in a sex scandal. In 2008 there was a story of the IMF investigating an improper sexual relationship with a subordinate.
And approximately a year ago, a book described his string of extra-marital affairs, The Telegraph reported.
The leader French Socialist and former finance minister is considered perhaps the only politician in a position to beat President Nicolas Sarkozy should he run against him in elections in 2012. But according to the book – said to be written by a close female supporter – his penchant for the opposite sex could knock him out of the race even before it starts.
