French authorities are investigating claims that Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former head of the International Monetary Fund, may have committed a rape during 2010 sex party at the W Hotel in Washington.

While ex-IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn may have been somewhat vindicated when the charges against him for sexually assaulting a hotel maid in New York were dropped, he’s again in hot water in France for allegedly participating in sex parties — some of which took place in the District.

A half-dozen Metropolitan Police Department cruisers responded to the Georgetown residence of former IMF Managing Director and alleged rapist Dominique Strauss-Kahn this morning — but it doesn’t appear to be anything too serious.
