Egyptian businessman Mahmoud Abdel-Salam Omar charged with sexual abuse, unlawful imprisonment, among other charges for groping maid at The Pierre Hotel in NYC, similar to Dominique Strauss-Kahn's alleged sexual assault on African maid at Sofitel Hotel.

Egyptian businessman Mahmoud Abdel-Salam Omar, 74, followed in the footsteps of disgraced International Monetary Fund ex-chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn after he sexually assaulted a maid at another swanky hotel -- The Pierre. According to the NY Daily News, he is accused of locking a 44 year old maid inside his room, grabbing her breasts, forcibly kissing her and rubbing up against her. The incident occurred Sunday, but was not reported to the police until Monday. Why was that? In any case, Omar was charged with sexual abuse, unlawful imprisonment, among other charges.
