Writer Files Assault Charges Against DSK

Reuters reports:

French writer Tristane Banon will file a legal complaint on Tuesday over an alleged rape attempt by former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn in 2002, her lawyer told Reuters.

David Koubbi, Banon's attorney, said the complaint would relate to an incident that took place when she went to interview Strauss-Kahn in an apartment in Paris. She was 22 at the time and has already publically discussed the incident.

"Tristane Banon will file a complaint on Tuesday for attempted rape in Paris," Koubbi said. (Reporting by Gerard Bon)
