The plot thickens.
Mr. Strauss-Kahn behaved aggressively toward a young female journalist and novelist, Tristane Banon, in 2002, according to the newspaper Le Parisien and other Web sites, and corroborated by Ms. Banon herself in a 2007 television interview on Paris Première, a cable channel. At the time, she said that a French politician — whom she later said was Mr. Strauss-Kahn — had tried to rape her in an empty apartment in Paris after she had contacted him for a book she was writing.
"He wanted to grab my hand while answering my questions, and then my arm. We ended up fighting, since I said clearly, 'No, no.' We fought on the floor, I kicked him, he undid my bra, he tried to remove my jeans," she said.
Afterward, she said that she had contacted a well-known lawyer who already had "a pile of files on Mr. Strauss-Kahn," but that she never filed a complaint. "I didn't dare; I didn't wish to be the girl who had a problem with a politician for the rest of my life," she said.
Her mother, Anne Mansouret, a Socialist, later confronted Mr. Strauss-Kahn and asked why he had attacked her daughter, she told Rue 89, an online newspaper. According to her, he responded: "I don't know what happened, I went crazy."

A story about the DSK case in the NY Times from May 15th is considered to be old news if it is now May 18th.....but not as old yet as the case you're saying that the plot is thickening about; that case is from 2002, 9 years ago and really old news in Europe and France in particular.
The particular girl in question never pressed charges but not only that, she was/is a friend of DSK's daughter.
Speaking about a plot....
Of course that doesn't mean that DSK isn't guilty, but as I said before, in America a suspect is considered to be "innocent until proven guilty", the same as in most civilized countries UG; would that be the same in Thailand ?
I wouldn't know but maybe you do?
