I have been following the big brew ha ha with International Monetary Fund head Dominique Strauss-Kahn and his alleged "pants on the ground" sexually assault arrest.
Tonight he is sitting in a prison cell in the famed Rikers Island after what police say he chased a hotel employee down the hall of his New York suite and started doing nasty things to her.
He was just about ready to jump on board a flight back to France when he got popped and cuffed and stuffed.
Today's his arrest is the biggest news story in Europe. This guy was going to be the next President of France then this debacle throws a wrench in that "dream."
Strauss-Kahn is now held on Rikers Island, New York's primary prison complex on the East River. OMG. Can you say "don't pick up that bar of soap, Dom...!" Also, no bail till he appears in Court on Friday
Rikers Island is one of the most notorious jails in the world.
Thousands of men and women are holed up at RI, and most are convicted for a host of violent and other crimes committed in the city. Strauss-Kahn will be in protective custody, staying in a cell by himself and having no contact with other inmates. Darn it.
Anyway, the FRENCH media is having a near riot trying to get as much "inside" crap about this case....
Stay tuned. This could be one ugly "international incident" in the making.
Here is the 411 on Rikers....
