Pimp defends Strauss-Kahn on sex charges

A pimp has come to the defence of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, saying the disgraced former IMF boss is innocent of charges of supplying prostitutes for sex parties.

The bizarre twist came 24 hours after Strauss-Kahn came face-to-face with a call girl in court.

Belgian national Dominique Alderweireld, who has previous convictions for pimping, faces the same charges as Strauss-Kahn.
