Dominique Strauss-Kahn had been hoping his legal entanglements in the United States would end on Tuesday when a Bronx judge decided whether to accept his argument that diplomatic immunity protected him from a lawsuit, but the judge did no such thing.
So far, Dominique Strauss-Kahn has primarily left the job of speculating about whether he was set up on charges of attempted rape to others, but in an interview with The Guardian, he established just how paranoid he is about that.
The lawyers for Dominique Strauss-Kahn accuser Nafissatou Diallo have said little to the U.S. press since his biography suggested the encounter between him and Diallo was consensual, but they're claiming they've learned of a key witness who they say visited Strauss-Kahn's hotel room -- if they could only find her.
Victims' advocates predict a chilling effect on future prosecutions
The unnamed sources say Kenneth Thompson sought a cash settlement for his client
A hospital report lists the cause of Diallo's injuries as "assault" and "rape"
Newsweek reports Strauss-Kahn's lawyers will argue Diallo sought cash for sex
The Sofitel Hotel maid's civil complaint includes new details about what allegedly happened
Complaint says he caused "severe mental anguish from which she may never fully recover"
Woman tells Diallo's lawyer Strauss-Kahn was "passionate" but not violent
The Sofitel Hotel maid said she spoke for 'every woman,' addressing reporters
The maid reportedly told conflicting stories to Newsweek and ABC News
