Ex-IMF chief Strauss-Kahn pleads not guilty at arraignment - CNN.com: "New York (CNN) -- Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former chief of the International Monetary Fund, pleaded not guilty Monday to seven charges involving a May 14 incident in which a housekeeping employee at New York's Sofitel hotel accused him of sexual assault.
Strauss-Kahn, who was considered a front-runner in France's next presidential race before his arrest, faces charges including criminal sexual acts and sexual abuse.
His attorney, Ben Brafman, declined to comment on details of the case in a brief statement to reporters outside the courtroom following the plea.
'We intend to defend this case and defend it vigorously, but we are going to do so in the courtroom,' Brafman said, renewing earlier statements that evidence in the case will reveal his client is innocent."
