Is the Head of the IMF a Sex Criminal?

I used to love you, but this is it. We're through. Oh, it was lovely while it lasted, my crush on your big welfare state, with its excellent national health service and its government-funded childcare. I liked your firm separation of church and state, your refusal to buy into the Iraq War, your mass demonstrations in support of workers and against the neoliberal agenda. And let's not forget the long vacations, outdoor markets, flourishing bookstores and high-speed trains! I even liked the fact that all your schools have the same centralized curriculum not like here, where local cranks and preachers get to meddle with history and science and cancel the school play. French kids study philosophy in high school! How cool is that? It made me so happy to think that there was a country where being intelligent and well-read was seen as a good thing, I gladly forgave you for all those boring movies where genial groups of affluent friends sat for hours over lunch in the garden of a country house.

Two NYC cops was on trial for rape and Firefly made a brief comment about it on this thread and in my readings I came across the information that they was just found innocent.

What's ironic is that it barbecues your poster boy for the evils of feminism.

and then she gets tips also.

Funny you should mention that, since two NYC police officers are currently on trial for rape. The NYPD is not rushing to their defense with the sort of anti-women attacks that you, Hawkeye, Ionus, and Spendius have been making. They, most of all, know that the crime of rape occurs--it is not a fantasy devised by feminists to toss innocent men in jail or put them through a publicly humiliating legal wringer.

That's 4 times the minimum wage. For cleaning?

Was the maid really on $60k for cleaning rooms?

I documented $830 a week, plus she gets tips, vacation, overtime, special pays, and medical. We dont know that full cost of her package to her employer but it certainly must be at least $60K a year.....and then she gets tips also.

I posted it as a public service...

I'm not sure what the point of her pay is? Are you saying she had such a good job that she would never risk it by falsifying a rape charge?

I've never heard she was a "poor, impoverished maid."

that DSK took advantage of a woman who had almost nothing, to include choices, thus was easily exploitable fodder for the likes of DSK.

By my last count this poor woman is up to three lawyers but they had not talk about a civil suit over this matter!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you come across the names please post them so that we can verify her strategy. Obviously such information causes problems for the victim story line, so they will try to keep it on the down low, but the names are out there somewhere.

No one knows how much she makes besides herself and her employer (and the IRS). Everything else posted is just speculation, rumor and gossip.

Normally the pay scale of a union is known.

Attorney Norman Siegel, former director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, and former Assistant U.S. Attorney Kenneth P. Thompson, who prosecuted New York City police officers for the beating and torture of Abner Louima, have begun to work on behalf of the 32-year-old hotel maid from Guinea, according to Jeffrey Shapiro, who has been representing her.

I did however see that union Bartenders in New York City can make up to $140K
