"I challenge you to distinguish a naked prostitute from any other naked woman".
It'e easy Mr SK - one offers sex because she wishes to, the other because she is paid to. The clue is in whether or not your wallet / credit card is involkved somewhere along the way.
AOG - because this man was the head of the IMF - if this sort of individual is holding a position of such power and influence, it's of interest to all of us.

'WAS' the head of the IMF, there lies the difference.
If he is no longer the head, then he doesn't hold such power and influence as you pointed out.
So therefore he is just a celebrity, or to be correct an ex-celebrity.
he was allegedly doing this while still in the, er, job. Indeed, the answer to andy's remark may be that he simply charged the whole thing to the IMF's account, which means I was paying for it (and so were aog and andy). This is in fact what's illegal in France and why they're looking into it. So I think we can all take an interest.
I'm intrigued to see this happened at the Carlton in Lille (allegedly): I stayed there a couple of years ago and they gave away my luggage to another guest; I haven't seen it since. No wonder the staff were absent-minded.
