Former prostitute takes the stand in Dominique Strauss-Kahn trial

An ex-prostitute named ‘Jade’ took the stand at the trial in northern France of the former IMF chief, Dominique Strauss-Kahn for pimping.

Strauss-Kahn faces accusations of taking part in an international prostitution ring set up to provide him with prostitutes for orgies at hotels in France and the US.

Jade, a now retired prostitute, told the trial she took up the profession to support her two young children after getting a divorce.
