Dominique Strauss-Kahn's semen was found on the shirt of a hotel maid who says he tried to rape her, sources told the Daily News Monday. The lab results - reminiscent of the stained blue dress in the Monica Lewinsky-Bill Clinton affair - could bolster the accuser's claim the French pol forced himself on her. The 32-year-old chambermaid told cops Strauss-Kahn charged at her in the nude, tore at her clothes and tried to force her to perform oral sex in his hotel room on May 14. When he left to flee for a flight to Paris, he walked right by the maid, who was being comforted in the hall by a co-worker, a police source said. He looked at her, but both were silent. After Strauss-Kahn was plucked off the Paris-bound plane and arrested, he was forced to give up a DNA sample. Technicians matched it to a stain on the woman's shirt, the sources said. Investigators are still waiting for results from carpet samples and swabs taken from the hotel sink, where the woman reportedly spit after the alleged attack. The DNA match could force Strauss-Kahn's lawyers into a corner because it will be difficult to claim there was no sexual contact in the Sofitel room. They have hinted they will argue any encounter between the former head of the International Monetary Fund and the devoutly Muslim maid was consensual. Strauss-Kahn made moves on other hotel staffers the day before the alleged attack - flirting with a clerk and inviting another employee to his room, a source told The Associated Press. Both turned him down. Strauss-Kahn's lawyer Benjamin Brafman would not comment on the case Monday, but in an email Strauss-Kahn sent to his former staff at the IMF, the Socialist Party bigwig said he would be vindicated. "I deny in the strongest possible terms the allegations which I now face," the 62-year-old said. "I am confident that the truth will come out and I will be exonerated." The email - obtained by CNN - was forwarded to the IMF staff Sunday evening by acting head John Lipsky. Strauss-Kahn said his decision to step down from the global economic policy group was made with "profound sadness," but he was anxious to spare the institution. "I cannot accept that the fund - and you dear colleagues - should in any way have to share my own personal nightmare. So I had to go," he wrote. Strauss-Kahn resigned from the IMF last week while still in jail. A judge placed him under house arrest on Friday, and he is confined to a lower Manhattan apartment. Strauss-Kahn's heiress wife, Anne Sinclair, put down more than $1 million to bail out her husband. The lawyer for the maid, a single mother from Guinea, said his client is ready to tell her story. "What's most important is her integrity and that the truth comes out," said Jeffrey Shapiro. "She wants to testify. She wants to see this thing through." Source: Daily Mail
