发帖数: 81 | 1 On 14 May 2011, Nafissatou Diallo, a 32-year-old maid at the Sofitel New
York Hotel,[64][65] alleged that Strauss-Kahn had sexually assaulted her
after she entered his suite.[66]
Strauss-Kahn was indicted on 18 May and granted US$1 million bail, plus a US
$5 million bond, the following day. He was ordered to remain confined to a
New York apartment under guard.[67] A semen sample was found on the maid's
shirt, and on May 24 it was reported that DNA tests showed a match to a DNA
sample submitted by Strauss-Kahn.[68] He was arraigned on June 6, 2011, and
pleaded not guilty.[69] On June 30, 2011, The New York Times reported that
the case was on the verge of collapse because of problems with the
credibility of the alleged victim, who had, according to sources within the
NYPD, repeatedly lied since making her first statement.[70] According to
prosecutors, the accuser admitted that she lied to a grand jury about the
events surrounding the alleged attack.[71] Diallo said that the translator
misunderstood her words.[72][73] Strauss-Kahn was released from house arrest
on 1 July.[74]
After completing a lengthy investigation, prosecutors filed a motion to drop
all charges against Strauss-Kahn, stating that they were not convinced of
his culpability beyond a reasonable doubt due to serious issues in the
complainant's credibility and inconclusive physical evidence, and therefore
could not ask a jury to believe in it.[75][76] The motion was granted by
Judge Obus in a hearing on August 23, 2011.[77][78] In a TV interview in
September, Strauss-Kahn admitted that his liaison with Diallo was a moral
fault and described it as "inappropriate" but that it did not involve
violence, constraint or aggression. He said that Diallo had lied about the
encounter and that he had no intention of negotiating with her over a civil
suit she had filed against him.[79] Strauss-Kahn later reached a settlement
with Diallo for an undisclosed amount over the civil suit. |
