An ex-prostitute on Tuesday testified in Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s pimping trial in northern France saying she had hardly been hired “to do the cleaning” when she worked at the sex parties allegedly attended by the former IMF chief.

“Jade,” a now-retired prostitute, told the court in the northern city of Lille how the Carlton vice ring had introduced her to “a public figure”, making an apparent reference to Strauss-Kahn, who was once one of the most powerful men in the world.

Witnesses are not allowed to refer to those who are not present and Strauss-Kahn is not due to appear in court until he testifies next week.
