All of this smells so much of BS.
Even if proven innocent, he'll be stuck in the US till after the Socialist primary in France.
BTW, it's fairly common in France to have a major opponent charged 18-24 months before a presidential election. It happened to Sarkozy, but Villepin/Chirac failed miserably and now Villepin is facing charges himself.In Soviet Russia, Fake borises YOU.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, his wife by his side, walked to a Manhattan courtroom through shouting protesters carrying signs that read: "Put the rapist on trial — not the victim."
Just hours later, the French diplomat was a free man — his attempted rape case formally dismissed.
The former International Monetary Fund leader can leave the United States after he's handed back his passport — which could happen as soon as Wednesday — but he will return to France to face an uncertain future that includes another investigation into an alleged sexual assault.
"I can't wait to get back to my country, but there are some things I have to do first," he said in French outside the posh Tribeca town home where he was kept under house arrest.
The New York case was dismissed Tuesday after prosecutors said they no longer trusted the hotel maid who accused him of attacking her in his luxury suite on May 14. Though evidence showed Strauss-Kahn had a sexual encounter with Nafissatou Diallo, prosecutors said the accuser was not credible because of lies she has told, including an earlier false rape claim.
Hey, maybe this really was a trap?

He's still a scumbag, no matter whether he beat the rap.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
