Strauss-Kahn faces another rape allegation
French writer Tristane Banon has filed a complaint for attempted rape against former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, her lawyer said, according to BBC.
Ms Banon accuses Mr Strauss-Kahn of trying to assault her as she tried to interview him in a Paris flat in 2003.
She did not go to the police at the time, but did raise the allegation in a TV chat show in 2007, when Mr Strauss-Kahn's name was bleeped out.
Mr Strauss-Kahn said he would sue Ms Banon for making false statements.
