French writer Tristane Banon will file a complaint for attempted rape against former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn. Her lawyer says Ms Banon accuses Mr Strauss-Kahn of trying to assault her as she tried to interview him in a Paris flat in 2003. Mr Strauss-Kahn said he will sue Ms Banon for making false statements. He was recently freed from house arrest in New York in a separate alleged case. He denies sexually assaulting a hotel maid in the city on 14 May.
Ms Banon’s lawyer, David Koubbi, said yesterday that she had instructed him to file a formal criminal complaint for attempted rape against Mr Strauss-Kahn. He said the complaint would be filed today to a Paris prosecutor.
