IMF
head
on
suicide
watch
in
New
York
City
jail



NEW
YORK
–

The
maid
came
from
one
of
the
world's
poorest
countries
to
the
U.
S.,
working
to
support
the
teen
daughter
she
raised
alone.
To
her,
the
penthouse
s
uite
at
the
Sofitel
Hotel
was
just
another
empty
room
to
clean.
She
says
she
had
no
idea
there
was
a
man
inside
or
that
he
was
a
famous
Fren
ch
politician.
She
says
he
was
naked,
chased
her
down
and
tried
to
rape
her.
The
man,
Dominique
Strauss-Kahn,
remained
jailed
under
a
suicide
watch
Wednes
day
as
a
lawyer
for
the
woman
sought
to
rebut
whispered
allegations
that
her
char
ges
were
a
conspiracy
and
a
setup.
Calls
intensified
for
the
62-year-old
Strauss-Kahn
to
step
down
as
head
of
the
pow
erful
International
Monetary
Fund,
with
U.S.
Treasury
Secretary
Timothy
Geithner
sa
ying
Strauss-Kahn

obviously
not
in
a
position
to
run
the
agency.
Strauss-Kahn
was
one
of
France's
most
high-profile
politicians
and
a
potential
candi
date
for
president
in
next
year's
elections.
His
arrest
on
charges
including
attempte
d
rape
shocked
France
and
cast
intense
attention
on
his
accuser,
a
32-year-old
ch
ambermaid
from
the
West
African
nation
of
Guinea.
On
Tuesday
her
lawyer,
Jeffrey
Shapiro,
said
he
had
no
doubts
his
client
was
telli
ng
the
truth
about
her
encounter
with
Strauss-Kahn
on
Saturday.

came
from
a
country
in
which
poor
people
had
little
or
no
justice,
and
she's
now
in
a
country
where
the
poor
have
the
same
rights
as
do
the
rich
and
the

Shapiro
said.

can't
here
in
this
country.
Strauss- Kahn's
lawyer,
Benjamin
Brafman,
said
at
his
client's
arraignment
this
week

that
defense
lawyers
believe
the
forensic
evidence

not
be
consistent
with
a
f
orcible
encounter.
But
Shapiro
dismissed
suggestions
that
the
woman
had
made
up
the
charges
or

ed
to
cover
up
a
consensual
encounter.

had

man
was.
Strauss-Kahn
is
also
charged
with
sex
abuse,
a
criminal
sex
act,
unlawful
imprison
ment
and
forcible
touching.
The
most
serious
charge
carries
five
to
25
years
in
pri
son.
Because
of
his
high
profile,
he
was
being
held
Tuesday
at
Rikers
Island
in
a
secti
on
of
the
jail
that
normally
houses
prisoners
with
highly
contagious
diseases
like
m
easles
or
tuberculosis.
Corrections
spokesman
Stephen
Morello
said
Strauss-Kahn
h
as
been
placed
in
a
wing
with
about
14
cells,
all
of
them
empty
except
for
his.
Norman
Seabrook,
president
of
the
correction
officers
union,
said
Strauss-Kahn
did
or
said
something
during
a
mental
health
evaluation
that
concerned
doctors,
and
h
e
is
being
monitored
day
and
night.
A
law
enforcement
official,
speaking
on
condition
of
anonymity
because
of
the
sens
itivity
of
prisoner
medical
information,
said
Strauss-Kahn
had
not
tried
to
harm
hims
elf.
Strauss-Kahn's
cell
has
a
toilet
and
a
sink.
He
takes
his
meals
there,
with
breakfas
t
at
5
a.m.,
lunch
at
11
a.m.
and
dinner
at
4
or
5
p.m.
Morello
said
Strauss-Kahn
can
occasionally
leave
his
cell
and
wander
the
wing,
an
d
can
go
outside
for
an
hour
each
day.
Because
he
is
awaiting
trial,
Strauss-Kahn
isn't
required
to
wear
a
prison
uniform.
He
may
bring
his
own
clothing
and
wear
w
hat
he
chooses,
except
for
his
shoes.
Meanwhile
in
Europe,
Strauss- Kahn's
past
conduct
with
other
women
was
getting
n
ew
scrutiny.
The
IMF
investigated
him
following
a
2008
affair
with
an
employee,
the
Hungarian-
born
economist
Piroska
Nagy.
The
institution
eventually
cleared
him
of
wrongdoing,

but
a
person
close
to
Nagy
said
Tuesday
that
she
had
sent
the
organization
a
let
ter
at
the
time
warning
about
his
behavior
toward
women.
The
letter
voiced

about
Dominique
Strauss-Kahn's
suitability
for
running
an
international
institution,
according
to
the
person,
who
declined
to
be
identified,
citin
g
the
sensitivity
of
the
matter.
The
New
York
Times
published
an
excerpt
of
the
letter,
along
with
an
account
that

said
Strauss-Kahn
had
aggressively
pursued
Nagy,
