Former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was granted bail and is expected to be released from jail Friday, just after being indicted on seven criminal charges related to an alleged sexual assault on a maid in a Manhattan hotel. The bail was set at $1 million in cash and a $5-million bond, and he is to surrender his travel documents and submit to a home detention. Strauss-Kahn was indicted on two counts of criminal sexual act; two counts of sexual abuse; and one count each of attempt to commit rape, unlawful imprisonment, and forcible touching. His next court appearance is set for June 6.
