The DSK Watch Watch

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is currently living at 71 Broadway where he is under house arrest while awaiting trial in the alleged rape of a housemaid at the swanky Sofitel hotel in Midtown.

The scene out in front of the building is one where major new outlets have set up shop and police across the street are trying to keep the situation manageable.

Even with the falling rain, there's a notable crowd that has formed hoping to take pictures of the media outlets that have swarmed.

The Lower Manhattan address is just steps from Wall Street and Trinity Church.

UPDATE:
Bad news for Strauss-Kahn. A DNA match has been made for samples taken from the alleged victim's shirt.
Two people familiar with the investigation told the Associated Press on Monday evening that DNA tests on the housekeeper’s shirt matched that of Strauss-Kahn. His attorney, Benjamin Brafman, declined to comment. The NYPD also denied sharing any such information with French authorities.
