Dominique Strauss-Kahn in confrontation with rape accuser
Source: AP

Former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn met with a Frenchwoman who says he tried to rape her in a face-to-face confrontation, as the two were questioned jointly by investigators deciding whether to pursue the case.

The Paris prosecutor's office is investigating Tristane Banon's claims that Strauss-Kahn attacked her during an interview for a book in 2003. Strauss-Kahn calls the claims imaginary and slanderous.

Banon requested a one-on-one meeting with Strauss-Kahn, which investigators granted. The two arrived at the police station on Thursday morning and did not speak to reporters gathered outside.

This kind of confrontation is a practice sometimes used in France to help officials decide if a case is worth pursuing.
