Prosecutor: Former IMF leader indicted in sex abuse case
5/19/2011
Dominique Strauss-Kahn is arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court earlier this week.
NEW YORK — A prosecutor in New York says a grand jury has indicted former IMF leader Dominique Strauss-Kahn in connection with an alleged attack on a hotel maid.
The assistant district attorney did not specify the charge.
Strauss-Kahn was appearing before a judge Thursday in a bid for freedom while he awaited trial.
The former head of the International Monetary Fund arrived in the courtroom Thursday afternoon wearing a gray suit.
He turned to give a quick smile to supporters in the gallery that included a daughter and his wife, Anne Sinclair.
He has been behind bars since Saturday after he was accused of trying to rape a maid at a Manhattan hotel.
