Is the Head of the IMF a Sex Criminal?

She hired a lawyer my rear end as the only way for her to do so is to have a Contingency agreement with him to act as her agent is selling her story ETC and or in suing DKS in civil court.

If he is a good lawyer, he has already advised her she cannot sell her story until after trial, otherwise she compromises her credibility as a witness.

They are not going at advertise it, but the alleged victim has certainly by now tapped into several tax supported revenue streams, some of which will dry up if she where to decide to stop cooperating with the police. For the forseeable future she will get victims assistance money and be housed by the state

Pro Bono well I did not hear the wordings of his claimed to be working free on this case as lawyers are masters of by careful wording lying without lying so do you happen to have a link to his claimed or not?

Jeffrey Shapiro: "I am not getting paid"

Jeffrey Shapiro, lawyer for the alleged victim in the Dominique Strauss-Kahn case, talks to "American Morning" about his client.

Shapiro says that he is doing the case pro bono and is personally advising his client, whom he's met with "quite a number of times."

Shapiro says, "My role here is to counsel her and to be with her to explain what's going on...on a personal level, and try to help her at some point get her life back on track... There's been no discussion about any civil litigation. "

This is nothing other than a physical, sexual assault by this man on this young woman," says Shapiro, who is advising the young lady pro bono and was introduced to her by a mutual friend.

Pro bono means he is working without compensation

She hired a lawyer my rear end as the only way for her to do so is to have a Contingency agreement with him to act as her agent is selling her story ETC and or in suing DKS in civil court.

It was just last year that the feds demanded that states give unemployment money to anyone who claims that they cant work because they are suffering abuse trauma, or because they need to take care of someone who has

That said, he is a personal injury lawyer and might be thinking he could see some benefit eventually

Actually, the hotel maid could apply for Worker's Comp (

Thanks for pointing that out, yes, she will get unemployment immediately and with workmans comp to follow.

I was not paying very close attention, but I saw enough to know that I object to the law.

No, what I said was that to receive unemployment you must be willing and able to work

An less not forget a possible law suit against the hotel for having dangerous working conditions by her "Pro Bono" lawyer.

“It’s absolutely no surprise that this happened,” says Priscilla Gonzalez, director of the advocacy group, Domestic Workers United. “Being a historically disenfranchised and devalued, invisible kind of work, people who work in this industry do face a lot of forms of abuse and exploitation, and sexual abuse and harassment are certainly one of those forms… The reality is that the women who do this work are not seen; they’re not recognized. For every woman that comes forward with a complaint, there are hundreds of others who don’t.”
It’s a perfect storm of factors that make the job so dangerous: Housekeepers often are tasked with cleaning whole blocks of rooms, so they’re alone in isolated wings or halls of their hotels, without security or any means of calling for help. The women who fill these positions tend to have humble backgrounds, have few means, or are illegal immigrants—and may indeed have all those characteristics. They consequently are less likely file complaints or speak up about mistreatment, for fear of jeopardizing their jobs. And there’s an inherent power dynamic at play, wherein a hotel’s management is eager to please wealthy clients—even if that means turning a blind eye to the complaints of one of their staffers.

Working as a housekeeper is difficult in any circumstances. Cleaning hotel rooms involves lifting mattresses that can weigh more than 100 pounds in order to tuck in sheets, which typically are flat, not fitted; extended periods of kneeling; and stooping over to scrub bathrooms and walls. It’s the kind of repetitive stress that frequently leads to slipped discs and other back injuries, and as a result, housekeepers are twice as likely to get hurt at work than the average American worker. A 2002 study by the University of California-Berkeley’s Labor Occupation Health Program found that more than three-quarters of hotel housekeepers said they’d been injured at work.
“It’s just unbelievable,” says Tho Thi Do, general vice president for Immigration, civil Rights, and diversity at Unite Here, the country’s biggest union for employees who work in service industries. The union is currently backing a California bill that would require hotels to switch to fitted sheets and provide housekeepers long-handled brooms—changes the industry is reluctant to adopt because, they say, it could cost them up to $20 million. But according to Do, it’s a small price to pay. “The physical pain, the possibility of being physically disabled for life… The comfort of the guests is at the cost of these women’s bodies,” she says.

Shouldn't you wait until she is unemployed to jump on this train? Did I miss where she quit or was fired from the hotel?
