#1 Maybe NYPD could release him into the general population of Rikers Island, just to give him a better perspective of what being a victim really means.

I feel for the real victim. Mr Brafman will rape her again at court.

#3 Dominique Strauss-Kahn's life just got even more interesting (in the Chinese proverb sense).

IMF accuser in apt. for HIV vics
Dominique Strauss-Kahn may have more to worry about than a possible prison sentence.

The IMF chief's alleged sex-assault victim lives in a Bronx apartment rented exclusively for adults with HIV or AIDS, The Post has learned.

The hotel maid, a West African immigrant, has occupied the fourth-floor High Bridge pad with her 15-year-old daughter since January -- and before that, lived in another Bronx apartment set aside by Harlem Community AIDS United strictly for adults with the virus and their families.

The Post has not been able to ascertain whether the maid, 32, has HIV/AIDS because of medical confidentiality laws.

But the agency rents apartments only for adults with the disease. A Harlem United worker said at least one adult in the household has to be HIV-positive or have AIDS to qualify for one of their units. A healthy adult with a child with HIV or AIDS is not eligible.

#5 Remember that the French media is far more leftist socialist than even MSNBC. They will beat the drum hard for this rapist.

Ironically, this has given Marine Le Pen a huge opportunity, and she is on it "like a duck on a June bug", running on a women's platform that the "elitist men in the two main parties of France are pigs who mistreat women."

A very powerful message, made more so because to a large extent it is true.

#6 if he takes antiretrovirals every day for a month, starting witin 48 hours of contact, it works like a vaccine and prevents him getting infected

#8 from the same morals that made Roman Polanski a "victim"

#9 No sense for Dom to deny anything happened. According the the HIV story, there is DNA on the (blue?) carpet. He better hope the maid wasn't a biter.

#10 I've read some French gossip (published before the event) that DSK seems to have a knack for escorts playing hotel maids and one French politician hinted at more incidents that have occurred at the Sofitel with him.

It might just be that he had special reasons to spend 500 dollars on a hotel in New York (with upgrade to the 3000 dollar suite) despite the fact that he has a flat in New York.

And this time he stumbled upon a real maid.

Also read that the hotel didn't alert police for hours. Probably wanted to hush up everything but the girl wasn't willing to.

#11 He better hope the maid wasn't a biter.

If that HIV / AIDS story pans out it looks like she won't even have to bite.

So I guess he'll sue because she didn't notify her rapist she was HIV positive.

#13 The best part will be if he goes into a profound rant before the press at Rikers, demanding the best treatment for HIV that exists, no matter the cost, because he is one of the elite, an important person, who does not deserve to die of a filth disease like some peasant (insert racial epithet here).

#14 Just like karma, egalite' can be a real bitch.

Free advice to DSK: do not wear your $20,000 suit to the jury trial.

#15 "I've read some French gossip (published before the event) that DSK seems to have a knack for escorts playing hotel maids and one French politician hinted at more incidents that have occurred at the Sofitel with him."
Oddly enough, my daughter also had that thought - that there was a professional already on her way to the hotel for a bit of scheduled afternoon amusement, but somehow the wires got crossed, and Sofitel housekeeping thought that the room was empty. At any rate, this explains why he was stark naked and all ready for fun'n'games when the maid came in, expecting the room to be empty.

#16 Moose: He CAN'T ask for any HIV testing because he wasn't there and never touched her.

Pass the popcorn.

#17 I am very pleased and proud of the NYPD.

Name a country in Europe in which the police 1) would have listened to the victim 2) taken her seriously 3) mustered the necessary resources to check out her story 4) gotten to Kahn before he left the country 5) ignored Kahn's protests of how important and powerful he was 6) locked him up in a standard jail cell in a standard jail 7) done a perp walk.

By Geoffrey it's great to be an American.

And it gets better: we'll make sure Kahn has a fair trial. He'll have his high priced lawyers. They'll use the law to their best advantage, as they should. The prosecutor will have to prove his case, as he should.

And if he is convicted, if, he'll enjoy the comforts of a standard New York prison cell. No judge will release him on compassionate grounds, or in recognition of his status, or because of a deal.

Enjoy, Mr. Kahn. I am.

#18 Steve White:

You forgot the most important: Upon learning of the raper's identity didn't pretend they had been unable to arrest him before the plane's departure. Just look the other way for 10 minutes and DSK was safe.

#20 Right now, in his small smelly cell, it must be dawning upon him that he won't walk free on Friday.

Suppose he'll beg for a plea bargain and I hope he won't get any.

And I think France should be grateful that the U.S. saved them from electing a rapist to the Elysee.

#21 "Name a country in Europe in which the police ..."

I'd nominate the police of Geneva. Gaddafi's hellspawn tried to bring Libyan tyranny to Geneva and they stopped him.

They had to know that it was far more dangerous to cross Libya than e.g. France. Switzerland's western 'friends' subsequently sided with Libya, tolerating outrageous violations of international law. If Gaddafi had sent assassination squads to Geneva to murder the policemen involved in Hannibal's arrest (and their families) there would not have been a peep of protest.

France will not take American hostages, threaten to storm the American embassy in Paris or announce sponsorship of terror attacks on the US.

The NYPD did the right thing. So did the Geneva Police, in the face of clear danger to their lives. Meanwhile the political class in all major western nations had been corrupted by and was enabling Gaddafi's crimes.
