Is the Head of the IMF a Sex Criminal?

But seriously. I gotta give you credit for posting some really well-written articles that generally blow your kayak out of the water.

Why do lawyers have a time-clock on their desk? What was their reason for studying those fusty old law books into the wee hours? I bet these three lawyers don't go jumping all over a sexual assault case in Harlem. Or Cottage Grove Oregon. Be as naive as you like ff but don't expect us to be.

Would you care to enlighten as to whether NY law allows a criminal judge to impose restitution payments into the sentence...

...and if he can further prevent flight until the the sentence is complied with?

MIDTOWN — The Pierre Hotel decided Tuesday it would hand out panic alarms to housekeepers after the latest incident of alleged sexual abuse involving guests.
The swank hotel acted after Egyptian businessman Mahmoud Abdel-Salam Omar was charged Monday with sexual abuse. He allegedly attacked a 44-year-old maid who came to his room to deliver a box of tissues Sunday evening, sources said.
The incident was not reported until Monday morning and the supervisor on duty at the time was suspended amid questions as to why police were not called.
The alleged attack comes just two weeks after Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former head of the International Monetary Fund, was charged with brutally assaulting a maid in Midtown's Sofitel hotel.
Another housekeeper at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square was also startled last week when she discovered a man hiding in the closet as she was cleaning an otherwise empty room, police said. The woman was not harmed in that case.
"There’s a very serious workplace safety problem for the workers," said State Assemblyman Rory Lancman, chair of the Subcommittee on Workplace Safety, who has introduced legislation that would force hotels to equip housekeeping staff entering rooms with "panic alert" devices in case of emergencies.
"You could go to any hotel in the City of New York and they will all have their stories of being inappropriately touched or propositioned," Lancman said, adding the recent incidents "happen frequently enough and are serious enough" to warrant immediate action.
Even without legislation, hotels are taking heightened efforts to prevent additional headlines.
The Pierre also plans to provide additional sexual harassment training to room attendants and managers and has instructed its human resources department to meet with each employee individually to discuss questions and concerns.
Staff have also been instructed to leave rooms immediately if they feel uncomfortable or unsafe and to report any incidents directly to supervisors.
"The Pierre has a zero tolerance for inappropriate guest behavior," the hotel said in a statement, adding that, "We take all complaints very seriously and investigate thoroughly."
At the Sofitel Hotel in Midtown, management has been more tight-lipped about possible changes. It did confirm that female staffers have been permitted to replace their once-mandatory "apron-style dress[es]" for trousers and tunics.

How short this skirt is I would like to know.

What difference would that make? Would knee-length or below signal a red light that no grabbing was allowed? Would above-knee length magically give a hotel guest a green light to assault a hotel employee?

But the leader of the mosque where Pottalfiibhantal operates has said he does not know her. She was not actively involved in the Muslim community which people in the neighbourhood say should have been hers, based on her native region.

I see. You're one of those that thinks, "Well, the way she was dressed, she was just asking for it". Figures.

It seems that we are supposed to believe that men routinely attack hotel maids, and that they almost always get away with it because the maids are underclass.

If never hurt to made wild claims as most people will not engage their brains and look at how likely those claims are.

I see. You're one of those that thinks, "Well, the way she was dressed, she was just asking for it". Figures.

I want to know how slutty this alleged devote Muslim was willing to dress for money.

Joe give no link just claim we are wrong and know nothing on the subject at hand.
