22:18 ET<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThe former head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has been moved to a new, more permanent location in New York City where he will await trial on sex assault charges.<\/p>\n
Dominique Strauss-Kahn was reportedly moved from lower Manhattan to a townhouse about one mile (1.6km) away.<\/p>\n
A lawyer for Mr Strauss-Kahn said on Wednesday his client was “very bored” under house arrest.<\/p>\n
Mr Strauss-Kahn has denied charges of attempting to rape a hotel maid.<\/p>\n
‘Plush’ townhouse<\/span><\/p>\nMr Strauss-Kahn, who resigned last week as the head of the IMF, was seen smiling as he left the high-rise building where he had been staying, which is owned by the security company managing his home detention.<\/p>\n
The French presidential contender, who is free on $1m (\u00a3618,000) bail, moved from New York’s financial district into a plush, four-bedroom townhouse in the city’s Tribeca neighbourhood, the Associated Press news agency reported, citing an unnamed source.<\/p>\n
Mr Strauss-Kahn is under 24-hour guard and wears a monitoring bracelet.<\/p>\n
His wife attempted to put him in a luxury building in another area of Manhattan last week, but those efforts were squashed when residents of the building complained.<\/p>\n
Mr Strauss-Kahn, who has no prior criminal record, spent several days in jail on Rikers Island following his arrest on 14 May.<\/p>\n
He is charged with seven counts including four felony charges – two of criminal sexual acts, one of attempted rape and one of sexual abuse – plus three misdemeanour offences, including unlawful imprisonment.<\/p>\n
His accuser is a 32-year-old originally from Guinea in west Africa who reportedly told authorities that Mr Strauss-Kahn had accosted her after she entered his hotel room to clean it at the Sofitel near Manhattan’s Times Square neighbourhood.<\/p>\n
Mr Strauss-Kahn, 62, denies the allegations and on 6 June is set to enter a formal plea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
