The court date for a French political big-shot accused of sexually assaulting a hotel maid was put off until tomorrow while authorities examine him at a hospital for evidence.
Lawyers for International Monetary Fund head Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who was yanked off a jet and arrested in the alleged sodomy attack of a hotel maid yesterday, said their client agreed to a "scientific and forensic examination" that will be conducted tonight.
The 62-year-old had been expected to be arraigned tonight on charges a criminal sex act, attempted rape and unlawful imprisonment.
"Our client willing consented to a scientific and forensic examination tonight at the request of the government," said one of Strauss-Kahn's attorneys, Bill Taylor. His client is "tired, but he's fine."
Earlier today, the maid identified Strauss-Kahn out of a police lineup, cops said. His lawyers say Strauss-Kahn denies any wrongdoing and will plead not guilty.
Strauss-Kahn was arrested last night for allegedly sodomizing the hotel maid yesterday -- hauled off an Air France flight just moments before takeoff from Kennedy Airport, police sources said.
Three Port Authority detectives pulled Strauss-Kahn from the plane's first-class cabin just two minutes before it was due to depart for Paris, according to the police sources.
