Never Knew Women Were Prostitutes: Strauss-Kahn. Disgraced former International Monetary Fund boss Dominique Strauss- Kahn told a French court on Tuesday that he was unaware that women who participated in orgies at luxury hotels in Paris and Washington DC were prostitutes.

Lille (France): Disgraced former International Monetary Fund boss Dominique Strauss- Kahn told a French court on Tuesday that he was unaware that women who participated in orgies at luxury hotels in Paris and Washington DC were prostitutes.

The 65-year-old and 13 co-defendants are on trial in this northern French city, accused of a ggravated pimping in connection with a sex ring centered on the Hotel Carlton in Lille. In his first testimony since the trial began February 2, Strauss-Kahn reaffirmed his long-standing defence that he did not know of the "prostitutional character" of the women who took part in his orgies.

Strauss-Kahn's arrival at the courthouse was disrupted by three topless protesters from the provocative group Femen, who were detained by police. Strauss-Kahn's chances of becoming French president were ruined over a separate sex scandal in New York.
