Strauss-Kahn files $1m suit against maid
2012-05-16
[Daily Nation (Kenya)] Dominique Strauss-Kahn has filed a $1million countersuit against the hotel maid at the center of the sexual assault claims.

A year after the scandal broke, Strauss-Kahn accused the maid, Nafissatou Diallo, of "knowingly and intentionally making a false report to law-enforcement authorities," the New York Post has said, citing court documents.

The countersuit lodged on Monday at Bronx Supreme Court claims the maid's "malicious and wanton false allegation" undermined Mr Strauss-Kahn's reputation.

The suit also indicates that the New York hotel maid damaged "other professional opportunities" without specifying political ambitions that were rocked by the scandal, the Post hassaid.

#3  After all, were it not for her and the enthusiasm of the NYPD for a perp walk, he would now be president of France instead of that Champagne socialist, Hollande. She stole his life. Granted, he is a vile worm who did not deserve to keep it, but why should he see it that way?
