Dominique Strauss-Kahn Accuser: Prostitute?

One day after a judge freed former International Monetary Fund head Dominique Strauss-Kahn from house arrest, sources say the woman who accused him of sexual assault was working as a prostitute at the hotel where she was also a housekeeper..
The New York Post reports:
“There is information . . . of her getting extraordinary tips, if you know what I mean. And it’s not for bringing extra f–king towels,” a source close to the defense investigation said yesterday.
The woman was allegedly purposely assigned to the Midtown hotel by her union because it knew she would bring in big bucks.
“When you’re a chambermaid at Local 6, when you first get to the US, you start at the motels at JFK [Airport]. You don’t start at the Sofitel,” the source said. “There’s a whole squad of people who saw her as an earner.”
The woman also had “a lot of her expenses — hair braiding, salon expenses — paid for by men not related to her,” the source said.
Allegations that she worked as a hotel hooker may explain why Strauss-Kahn insists their encounter was consensual. His defense attorneys refused yesterday to comment on the damning evidence — or say whether he paid her for sex.
Sources also told The Post Strauss-Kahn’s probers uncovered evidence that she was part of a pyramid scheme that targeted immigrants from her native Guinea.
“We have people who have been victimized, who have claimed she ripped them off. Nice working people from her neighborhood,” a source said.
The stunning new info surfaced yesterday as the accuser was unmasked as a pathological liar and scam artist by prosecutors whose rape case has unraveled.
Strauss-Kahn — who was under house arrest with a $5 million bond — was released without bail after the Manhattan DA’s Office admitted that the maid repeatedly lied to them about the alleged attack and her personal history.
Most damning to the case is that she flat-out lied on her asylum application that she was the “victim of a gang rape” in Guinea — memorizing a cassette tape that coached her on what to say, according to a letter prosecutors sent to the defense.
“She reiterated these falsehoods when questioned about her history and background, and stated that she did so in order to remain consistent with the statement that she had submitted as part of her application,” prosecutors said in the letter.
“Presently, the complainant states that she would that she was raped in the past in her native country but in an incident different than the one that she described during initial interviews.”
To get tax benefits, she also claimed she had a second child. She only has one, a 15-year-old daughter.
“She also admitted to misrepresenting her income in order to maintain her present housing,” the letter said.
Prosecutors said the woman lied to a grand jury by testifying she immediately alerted a supervisor about the assault.
The maid actually cleaned a neighboring suite on the 28th floor and then scrubbed Strauss-Kahn’s room before she reported the incident to her boss.
Twenty-eight hours after the alleged sexual assault, the woman talked to her boyfriend in an immigration jail in Arizona — saying “words to the effect of, ‘Don’t worry, this guy has a lot of money. I know what I’m doing,’ ” The New York Times quoted an official saying.
The bombshell disclosures will likely force the DA to drop all charges against the banking big shot.
“I understand that the circumstances surrounding the case have changed substantially,” Judge Michael Obus said as he ordered Strauss-Kahn’s $1 million bail and $5 million bond returned and gave permission for him to travel anywhere in the United States without restriction.
His passport was not returned.
“In the meantime, there will be no rush to judgment in this case,” said Obus, adding, “I expect the process will go on in a manner that is fair as can be.”
Strauss-Kahn, considered before his May 14 arrest to be a leading candidate for the French presidency, happily strode out of Manhattan Supreme Court holding hands with loyal wife Anne Sinclair after the brief, dramatic hearing.
“On the eve of Independence Day, we get to celebrate with Mr. Strauss-Kahn and his family a bit of personal independence,” said his lawyer, Benjamin Brafman. “This is a giant step in the right direction. The next step will lead to complete dismissal of the charges.”
Strauss-Kahn’s first taste of freedom came last night at the cozy — and pricey — Upper East Side Italian eatery Scalinatella, where he sipped red wine with his wife and a security detail at a celebratory meal that cost $700.
Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr., said that although his investigators have “raised concerns about the complaining witnesses’ credibility . . . today’s proceedings did not dismiss the indictment, or any of the charges.”
The maid’s lawyer, Kenneth Thompson, blasted Vance, accusing prosecutors of sabotaging their own case despite strong evidence of rape.
“Our concern is that District Attorney Vance is too afraid to try this case,” Thompson said. “We believe he‘s afraid he’s going to lose this high-profile case” like he did the trials over an alleged cop rape and the Deutsche Bank Building fire.
Thompson called allegations about her call to a jailed friend — and that she had a bank account that contained $100,000 deposited by several people over two years — “a lie.”
When asked about the maid supposedly cleaning the rooms before reporting that she had been attacked, Thompson said she was very upset at the time and “did not know what to do.”
The lawyer said there was other evidence against Strauss-Kahn, including hotel security video that shows him looking “nervous” afterward with “toothpaste smeared outside of his mouth.”
Thompson admitted she lied on her asylum application but said she did so because “the victim is also a victim of female genital mutilation” and was desperate to shield her daughter from the same fate.
A spokesman for the hotel union denied it placed the victim at the Sofitel.
“These allegations are absurd,” spokesman Josh Gold said. “She never registered at our hiring hall. We never sent her for a single interview. We absolutely did not place her at the hotel and we do not track tips.”

Posted on July 2, 2011 at 2:16pmThere should be a criminal investigation of any union, that evidence shows has been acting as a pimp for prostitutes. If evidence bears out the allegations, prosecutions should follow. Are we seeing the beginnings of an investigation of a union for racketeering?

Posted on July 2, 2011 at 2:05pmThe whole legal system, especially in leftist places like New York and Los Angeles, is set up to vilify and falsely accuse men as shown in “Witch-Hunting Males” at Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_insight?v=B-SC0a1_Vjs
The leftist politics of Marxist based, gender feminism has heavily influenced all levels of America’s legal system. America now has the highest rate of incarceration in the world (having passed Russia). And the prison population is more than 90 percent male. Of course, female false accusers are rarely if ever prosecuted. Will this woman be prosecuted? Not likely, or if prosecuted, a slap on the risk compared to what this man was facing as a result of her false accusation. Like the woman in the Duke lacrosse team witch-hunt, the legal system will most likely just look the other way.
