Lawyers for IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn argued at his arraignment that the hotel worker who has accused him of a sexual attack consented to the encounter. "The evidence, we believe, will not be consistent with a forcible encounter," said one lawyer, while a defense source tells the New York Post, "There may well have been consent." Neither Strauss-Kahn nor his accuser had scratches or bruises, but the accuser’s hospital exam supports her account, as might forensic evidence at the scene of the crime.
