Don't you hate it when this happens
You know when the cleaning lady walks in on you in your hotel room and then you accidentally fall on top of her and your hands allegedly get tangled up in her uniform and you’re the head of the International Monetary Fund in charge of telling people the right thing to do.

The easiest way to destroy someones credability is to accuse them of a sex crime.

Look at the Wikileaks founder Assange.
So I take some of these "sex crime" reports about high profile people with a pinch of salt.

Have a look at the comments section on any article on thejournal.ie, every one gets filled up with these cliches double quick.

In a way they are raping us with their pensions. All that FF dead weight that got fired by the electorate are still raping us of our tax money.

Yes you are!

France has adopted the Universal declaration of human rights.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 11, states: Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defence.

Couldn't believe the news, a sad day for politics everywhere.
He must have thought the Maid was going to rob the place, then nature took over and he went into self defence mode and throwing her on the bed. Then when she escaped he probably thought she had a weapon possible a glock and dived on her pulling her across the room. IN the struggle he tried to dial 911 from his phone but she kicked it out of his hand before he escaped unharmed but severly disturbed.
Thats my take on it anyway.

This guy has obviously been set up. If you see the whole story on the news, it is so incredulous, if it wasn't political sabotage, it would not get air time. It would be laughable if it wasn't going to ruin this poor man.

The bad news for Ireland is that because of the man getting arrested, it could probably mean Sarkosy will get another term in office running his country France and that means running Ireland down more!

There's nothing worse than some ill-informed idiot posting lies in a thread headline when the article mentions nothing of the sort.

Attention-seeking clown.
