Kahn ‘victim’ not contacted

A FRENCH writer who has alleged Dominique Strauss-Kahn sexually assaulted her nine years ago has not been contacted by US prosecutors who have indicted the former IMF chief on sex charges in New York, her lawyer said yesterday.

David Koubbi said “there has been no attempt to get in touch.” He said his client, Tristane Banon, does not intend to assist the American prosecution, and he doesn’t believe she can be forced to cooperate.

Koubbi told The Associated Press: “My client won’t be forced to do anything by American justice.”
