Strauss-Kahn, 62, remains under house arrest in a pricey lower
Manhattan pad secured by his billionaire wife, Anne Sinclair. He must
wear a GPS-enabled ankle bracelet and have armed guards to prevent him
from escaping.
Meanwhile, in another development yesterday, it
emerged that Strauss-Kahn allegedly shouted, « Do you know who I am ? » as
he assaulted the victim, according to a new report.
"Don’t you
know who I am ? Don’t you know who I am ?" Strauss- Kahn repeatedly
inquired during the incident, according to Fox News.
"Please,
please stop. No !" she cried as he pinned her to the bed, law-enforcement
sources said. "Please stop. I need my job, I can’t lose my job, don’t
do this. I will lose my job. Please, please stop !"
In a
heartless reply, Strauss-Kahn, allegedly told her, "No, baby. Don’t
worry, you’re not going to lose your job," sources said, adding that he
again repeated, « Don’t you know who I am ? »
While she begged him
to stop, he allegedly pressed the attack, dragging her down the hall
and forcing her to perform oral sex.
The maid finally escaped by pushing him into a piece of furniture in the $3,000-a-night Sofitel suite,
she said. Sources said that the Frenchman has a gash on his back where
he hit the armoire and that blood was found on the sheets.
Investigators also confirmed a DNA match between Strauss-Kahn and a semen sample found on the maid’s shirt.
Meanwhile, Strauss-Kahn faces a deadline this morning to vacate the
apartment at 71 Broadway where he’s been under house arrest since he was
sprung from Rikers on Friday.
He is now hunting for a
townhouse so he doesn’t have to deal with belligerent co-op and condo
boards, and has a $50,000 monthly budget, sources said.
"He has
been calling around, but no broker wants to work with him," a top
broker said. "He wants to find a broker who will help secure a place for
him with more privacy so he won’t be harassed, and he is not particular
about the neighborhood."
