From the hotel maid---to Tristane (Tri-stan) Banon (Bay-no). The French writer has officially filed a complaint against DSK, saying -- he tried to rape her after an interview in 2003. Banon’s mother however---did not want her daughter to report it.
Anne Mansouret: “She was sobbing. She said, mom something terrible happened to me. He jumped on me. I told her listen, you know, if you had been raped I wouldn’t have hesitated. There wasn’t a rape strictly speaking. There was an attack. For the rest of your life you would have on your resume, you know, Tristane Banon, that’s the girl who, well... you know.”
