SHAMED former IMF boss Dominique Strauss-Kahn has blamed his sex scandal downfall on the fact “the flesh is weak”.

Former International Monetary Fund leader Dominique Strauss-Kahn does not have diplomatic immunity from a lawsuit by a hotel maid who claims he sexually assaulted her in his room, according to court papers.

THE Paris prosecutor’s office yesterday dropped its investigation into a writer’s claim that Dominique Strauss-Kahn tried to rape her, though it said the former IMF chief admitted to behaviour that could qualify as sexual assault.
