In a motion to dismiss rape charges against Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Manhattan prosecutors today reported that an analysis of carpet stains in the Frenchman’s $3000-per-night Sofitel hotel room “contained the semen and DNA†of four individuals.

While a stain on the room’s wallpaper contained the semen and DNA of a fourth unknown man. The revelation that the swanky 28th floor suite was semen-soaked is contained in a footnote in a New York State Supreme Court recommendation for dismissal filed by prosecutors with the Manhattan district attorney’s office. As for the source of that stray semen, investigators noted that, “the circumstances under which the unidentified DNA was deposited are unrelated†to the encounter between the 62-year-old Strauss-Kahn and hotel maid Nafissatou Diallo. On August 8, Diallo, 32, filed a civil lawsuit accusing Strauss-Kahn, former head of the International Monetary Fund, of sexually assaulting her in mid-May at the Times Square-area hotel.
