    Prosecutors File to Dismiss Strauss-Kahn Charges

    New York prosecutors today asked a judge to dismiss sexual assault charges against former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, citing questions about his accuser's truthfulness.

    Strauss-Kahn had been accused of sexually assaulting Sofitel Hotel maid Nafissatou Diallo in May.

    In a 25-page motion filed with Judge Michael Obus, prosecutors said "evidence gathered in our post indictment investigation severely undermined her reliability as a witness in this case."

    During the investigation into the incident, prosecutors say, Diallo presented three different versions of the alleged assault and lied under oath. Her credibility "cannot withstand the most basic evaluation," prosecutors said in the motion.

    "If we do not believe her beyond a reasonable doubt, we cannot ask a jury to do so," Assistant District Attorney Joan Illuzzi-Orbon said.

    at first i wasn't sure about this case, seemed like a set up and then the reports started coming in from overseas about other similar type acts....

    well...maybe not a set up, but she lacks the credibility. if he is innocent of this...his political aspirations are likely over

    side note: i wish other DA's were as honest and ethical as this. too many are power hungry and just want convictions under their belt.

    Because he no longer poses a threat to Sarcozy in coming French president election.
