DSK to Face French Writer Accusing Him of Rape; Says Tristane Banon's Allegations Are "Imaginary"

The Paris prosecutor's office said today (September 24, 2011) that Dominique Strauss-Kahn -- who was acquitted last month of attempting to rape a maid in his New York City hotel room -- will be questioned by France's police alongside the French writer who has accused him of attempted rape, according to the Washington Post website.

Police interviewed Strauss-Kahn -- the former International Monetary Fund chief -- 11 days ago about Tristane Banon's allegations. Prosecutors did not specify a date for the confrontation.

Strauss-Kahn, 62, has called Banon's accusations "imaginary" and has filed a defamation lawsuit against her.

Banon sought the confrontation and organized a demonstration scheduled for tomorrow in front of the Paris courthouse in support of stricter penalties for sexual crimes against women.
