Strauss-Kahn begs media to leave him alone after scandals

Former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn said in a rare magazine interview that he is tired of being hunted by the media and begged to be left alone as he tries to move on from a sex scandal that wrecked his career.

Strauss-Kahn — who is trying to make a comeback as a conference speaker while fighting two legal cases over alleged sexual misconduct — said since he had not been convicted of any crime he should be left alone.

“I no longer have public duties, I am not a candidate for anything. I have never been convicted in this country or any other,” Strauss-Kahn, once tipped to win the May presidential election, told the weekly Le Point.
