Ex-IMF chief leaves town house to head to NY court
Sunday, June 5, 2011
NEW YORK (AP) -- Former International Monetary Fund leader Dominique Strauss-Kahn has left the town house where he's staying and headed to court.
Strauss-Kahn strode out of the town house Monday morning and got into a dark vehicle, and it pulled away.
A huge media throng is gathered outside the Manhattan courthouse where he's to answer charges that he sexually assaulted a New York City hotel maid. He is expected to plead not guilty.
Strauss-Kahn is on house arrest. He resigned his IMF post after his May 14 arrest.
If convicted of the most serious charge, Strauss-Kahn could face at least five and up to 25 years in prison.
