It's about time these bigshot men get a lesson that women are not there to be a convenient recepticle (sp?) for whenever the desire shoots through their loins. This is a sickening example of how many men in foreign lands - and yes, here too - view women as chattel to be used for their own pleasure.

Good for the maid!! No woman should have to succumb to a man she doesn't want - regardless of how powerful, wealthy, or influential they are.

If it's proved with certainty, I hope the almost-future-leader-of-France spends his nights in a small dingy cell, remembering the good life he once had - if he'd only kept his sweaty hands to himself.

Shouldn't we wait judging him till the trial is over? He is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty..if he is you are right.

He is a good attorney but more about spotlight then results. Howard Weitzman is the very best for this case, the very best, but I doubt he'd represent the guy, who know's?

It's amazing that he found a lawyer who's shorter than he is.
