In a recent update in the case revolving around former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, a French court has refused to drop sex offence charges against him. It is alleged that Kahn has taken part in a hotel's prostitution ring, which was in Lille.

His lawyers said that for now, the case has come to the point where decision is lying on whether Kahn knew the profession of women or not. They have further affirmed that their client did not know that some of the women present there are prostitutes.

The case has come just a few days after a case in which Kahn was blamed by his made for attempt to rape. A separate court ruling took place in New York in which he has settled the case.

"Dominique Strauss-Kahn's defence team is certain that he will ultimately be cleared of these absurd accusations of pimping", said lawyer Henri Leclerc. He further affirmed that he has been planning to appeal in France's Supreme Court.

When asked from Kahn, he denied of doing anything wrong and has refused to accept any such claims against him. It has been found that serious investigations have been taking place against Kahn to know more about him.
