London, Sept 29 (ANI): Former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn and the French journalist, who accused him of trying to rape her in 2003, have reportedly arrived at a police station to be brought face to face.
Police will investigate 32-year-old Tristane Banon's complaint before prosecutors decide whether to press charges, the Telegraph reports.
The confrontation between accused and accuser is to take place without lawyers present, which is a common practice in French justice when two people in a case give different versions of events.
The meeting could bring investigations to a close, after which the prosecutor could decide that there's no case, or that the alleged crime happened too long ago or that a prosecution is warranted.
Banon has accused Strauss-Kahn of wrestling with her "like a rutting chimpanzee" after luring her into a Paris flat on the pretext of offering her an interview for a book she was writing.
Strauss-Kahn has earlier admitted making "an advance" on Banon, but denied any use of violence and has lodged a lawsuit for slander against the writer over her claim. (ANI)
