As we all kind of expected the Manhattan DA's office is asking the judge to dismiss the rape charges against Dominique Strauss-Kahn claiming that the witness, a housekeeper at The Sofitel New York was an unreliable witness for several reasons. (Of course, that still that doesn't change the fact that DSK, a married man, admitted the sex was consensual.)
Nevertheless what really, um, stood out for us was this bit in the prosecution's filing and highlighted by The Smoking Gun.
In a motion to dismiss rape charges against Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Manhattan prosecutors today reported that an analysis of carpet stains in the Frenchman’s $3000-per-night Sofitel hotel room “contained the semen and DNA” of three unknown men, while a stain on the room’s wallpaper contained the semen and DNA of a fourth unknown man.
Four men. Four semen stains. On the rug and on the wallpaper. The wallpaper! This we expect from a Holiday Inn or Motel 6, or even a Sheraton or Hilton in a Spring Break destination but never from a swanky suite in Manhattan. Ugh. We may never sleep comfortably in a hotel room ever again. (Unless we have proof that the rugs were just cleaned.)
