Dominique Strauss-Kahn appeared before French judges alongside 14 men and women to stand trial over their alleged roles in an international prostitution ring.
After a dozen co-defendants were called before Judge Bernard Lemaire, Strauss-Kahn stepped forward to hear the charges against him. Dressed in a dark gray suit, white shirt and blue tie, he was accused of aiding and abetting in the prostitution of seven women from March 2008 to 2011.
