The influential head of the IMF, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, 62, has been arrested by U.S. authorities and denied bail, for attempting to rape a Ghanaian maid in his $3,000 per night Sofitel New York hotel suite. Kahn made his first appearance in court today, after being yanked off a outbound flight from New York headed to France, in order to preserve DNA for the case.

The unnamed maid told authorities, a naked Kahn sprang out of the bathroom, into the living room, then dragged her to the bedroom of the suite, forcing her to perform oral sex on him. A few years ago, pretty French author, Tristane Banon, alleged she had to physically fight off Kahn, as he sexually assaulted her. There was also a 2008 incident, where Kahn was reprimanded for having an improper sexual relationship with an IMF worker.
