Strauss-Kahn, 62, was indicted on all seven charges presented to a New York grand jury following his arrest for the alleged sexual assault of a chambermaid in his suite in the luxury Sofitel hotel on Saturday.
The judge said he had based his decision on the sole concern of the court: that Strauss-Kahn return to court to face justice.
