Maid in Strauss-Kahn case visits NYC prosecutors

NEW YORK — The hotel maid who accused Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sex assault met with prosecutors this morning for the first time since the district attorney's office publicly announced it had doubts about her credibility.

Nafissatou Diallo arrived at the Manhattan district attorney's office with her attorney Kenneth Thompson and did not speak to reporters. The last meeting between Diallo and prosecutors in June ended with her in tears as prosecutors asked about inconsistencies they had uncovered in her past, her attorney has said.

The meeting came one day after the district attorney and Strauss-Kahn's attorneys announced they had agreed to postpone his next court date to Aug. 23, when prosecutors could announce whether or not they will go forward with the case.

Doubts about Diallo's background — which included lying on her asylum application that she had been gang raped and phone conversations she had with a man in an Arizona immigration prison after the encounter with Strauss-Kahn — prompted prosecutors to agree to have the 62-year-old former head of the International Monetary Fund freed from house arrest.
