Paris, Dec.2 (ANI): Former International Monetary Fund (IMF) president Dominique Strauss Kahn has finally admitted that his 'uninhibited' sex life cost him his chance to become president of France.
While denying that he had paid to sleep with prostitutes, Strauss-Kahn has admitted to attending 'sex parties' in a biography released yesterday.
According to the Daily Mail, the 62-year-old, who admits that his 'flesh is weak', said he deeply regrets his sexual encounter with a maid at the Sofitel hotel in New York, which led to his arrest on May 14.
"Nothing would have happened if I hadn't had this consensual, but stupid, relationship with Nafissatou Diallo," said Strauss-Kahn, referring to the 32-year-old Guinean who claimed to have been attacked.
He adds: "That day, I opened the door to all the other affairs."
Hotel maid: Nafissatou Diallo, accused DSK of sexually attacking her in New York.
Prosecutors eventually dropped all criminal charges in August, but Miss Diallo has pursued a civil case.
The Frenchman was also investigated over the attempted rape of writer Tristane Banon, now 32, in 2001.
In October, prosecutors said there was clear evidence that Strauss-Kahn had sexually assaulted Banon, but it had been too long ago for legal action to be taken.
Strauss-Kahn was the favourite Socialist candidate to defeat Nicolas Sarkozy in France's elections next year.
"I could have been in a position to be president. Now, I'm no longer in that position, that's all," he says.
Biographer Michel Taubmann also uses DSK's Affairs - The Counter Enquiry to explore fresh accusations that Strauss-Kahn was involved in an illegal prostitution racket based at the Carlton hotel in Lille, northern France. (ANI)
