He wont get time, look who’s defending him for christ sake.
Legend 
This whole thing stinks to be honest. Free the pervert.
Jaysus he’s on Rikers Island.
Reports that the victim of the alleged attack has HIV
Somewhat ironic that they couldn’t bail Dominic out.
DSK granted bail
I’m on the side of DKS.
He’s been setup
Hey ODowd, I already did the bail out quip on the third post on this thread. Pay some fucking attention pal.
The Dunph & Rocko, we need to watch this ODowd character.
Apologies Bandage. I wasn’t paying attention. My bad.
Apology accepted Fagan.
Thanks Bandage mate. Appreciate it
Myself and The Runt knew the score here. DSK got rightly done over. (the bolded bit below is surely there for a laugh)
The maid who accused former IMF boss Dominique Strauss-Kahn of a violent sex attack in his Midtown hotel room has repeatedly lied to prosecutors and is “personally associated” with money launderers and drug dealers — revelations that have sunk the prosecution’s case, sources told The Post last night.
“She’s a con artist,” one law enforcement source said, adding that prosecutors have concluded "she cannot be put on the stand.
“She’d be a flawed witness.”
The alleged victim, a chambermaid at the Sofitel Hotel, “continuously lied to us,” a law-enforcement source told The Post.
Strauss-Kahn has admitting to having sex with her, but insisted it was consensual. That makes her the only one who can tell a jury she tried to resist — and DA Cyrus Vance now realizes that if she’s exposed to cross examinination she’ll be destroyed on the stand when defense lawyers shine a light on the skeletons in her closet.
Strauss-Kahn’s legal team has hired the world’s best private investigators to ferret out every detail about the the accuser’s past.
They have unearthed photographs of her drinking and partying, despite her professed Muslim faith, sources told The Post.
Investigators initially found the 32-year-old accuser’s account credible when she said that Strauss-Kahn, 62, forcibly made her perform oral sex after she mistakenly went into his room while he showered, but they now have many questions.
Within a day of the May 14 incident, the maid called a friend who was in jail for allegedly possessing 400 pound of marijuana to discuss how she could benefit from the tryst, The New York Times reported.
That phone call was recorded by authorities, the report said.
Equally troubling, investigators learned that several people from around the country made multiple cash deposits in her bank account totaling $100,000 over the past two years, the Times said.
She also paid hundreds of dollars in phone charges every month to five different companies, although she insisted she had only one phone herself.
She also showed inconsistencies on her asylum application to the United States some 10 years ago — for which there is a “good chance she could get deported,” according to a Post source.
Not only did she tell “numerous lies,” but she is “personally connected” to drug dealers and money launderers, the source said.
Also, she told investigators she was a victim of rape and subjected to genital mutilation in her home land, information that contradicts her asylum application.
Despite the revelations, law-enforcement sources said the woman is not backing off her claims of sexual assault.
Still, a law enforcement official tells The Associated Press that prosecutors believe she lied about some of her activities in the hours surrounding the alleged attack, but they haven’t necessarily questioned her account about the incident itself.
Questions about her credibility were first revealed by The Post days after Strauss-Kahn’s arrest, including the fact that she lived in subsidized housing for AIDS patients, although she swore to investigators she was not infected.
Prosecutors are expected to tell the court today that there are serious “credibility” issues with the maid, during a hearing scheduled to discuss loosening the terms of Strauss-Kahn’s strict house arrest conditions as well as his bail.
Strauss-Kahn’s legal team is expected to ask that condition of his strict house arrest be eased.
He could even be released without bail today, a source said.
The banking big, a former contender for the French presidency, was yanked off a Paris-bound flight and arrested hours after his midday encounter with the maid.
“Sex definitely happened that day, but who knows what happened?” the law-enforcement source said. His DNA was recovered from a piece of carpet cut from the floor of the hotel room.
DSK was slapped with seven felony charges on May 16, including sex abuse and attempted rape, that could have landed the married French pol 25 years in jail.
Since May 20, the one-time French presidential contender has been confined to his $50,000-a-month mansion in TriBeCa, permitted to leave only for court appearances, meetings with doctors and lawyers, and to worship once a week.
Prosecutors are working with three possible scenarios that could each destroy their case against the rape case against Strauss-Kahn
– They had consensual sex
– Strauss-Kahn paid her for sex
– The maid set him up in an extortion plot
A source in Paris has told The Post that reps for DSK traveled to the accuser’s rural Guinea hometown in western Africa to meet with her family and broker a settlement to make the case go away.
Strauss-Kahn’s lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, declined to comment.
In a May 25 letter to the court, Brafman wrote the defense had unearthed “substantial information that in our view would seriously undermine the quality of this prosecution and also gravely undermine the credibility of the complainant in this case.”
Throughout the drama, Strauss-Kahn’s billionaire American-born wife, Anne Sinclair, has stuck by his side.

Doubts over maid’s story threaten Strauss-Kahn case
Friday July 01 2011
The case against Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former IMF chief accused of sexually attacking a hotel maid, could be on the verge of collapse, it was claimed today.
Prosecutors have serious concerns about the credibility of the 32-year-old maid who accused Mr Strauss-Kahn of attempting to rape her, according to several reports.
They believe she has lied about their encounter, has links to a drug dealer and received strange payments into her bank account, according to The New York Times.
The woman’s account of why she received asylum in the US, and even her claim to own only one mobile phone, have also been called into serious doubt, the report said.
Citing unnamed law-enforcement sources, the newspaper reported that New York prosecutors had admitted to Mr Strauss-Kahn’s lawyers that there were serious problems with their case.
CNN, citing an unnamed “official close to Mr Strauss-Kahn’s defence team”, also said there were “serious issues regarding the credibility” of the maid.
Mr Strauss-Kahn, 62, is due in court at 11.30 (16.30 BST) on Friday, where he is expected to have the strict conditions of his $1 million (£620,000) bail relaxed. He is under house arrest and armed guard, and must wear an electronic tag.
But the newspaper said that the flaws in the prosecution were so great that he could soon also have all eight criminal charges against him - including attempted rape and criminal sexual acts - dismissed.
The report could herald a sensational turn of events in a case that has been at the centre of international attention since Mr Strauss-Kahn was arrested on May 14.
It is bound to reignite claims among supporters of Mr Strauss-Kahn, formerly assumed to be a potential contender for the French presidency at the next general election, that he was set up – perhaps by people linked to his political enemies.
Prosecutors, previously bullish about the strength of the claims made by the Guinean maid, are now preparing to admit to Judge Michael Obus at New York supreme court that they “have problems with the case”, the newspaper said.
It said that the woman had a recorded phone call with “an incarcerated man” within a day of her encounter with Mr Strauss-Kahn, when she “discussed the possible benefits” of pursuing charges.

The man, said to have been arrested over possession of a huge amount of marijuana, was also among several people who made cash deposits into the maid’s bank account, it said.
The deposits, which were said to total $100,000 (€68,000) were made in Arizona, Georgia, New York and Pennsylvania, according to the report.[/b]
[b]It was further alleged that while the woman told investigators that part of her application for asylum in the US was that she had previously been raped, on further investigation it emerged this was not true.
She also told prosecutors that she had been subjected to genital mutilation, The New York Times said, but her account was different to what she had said previously in the asylum application.[/b]
Mr Strauss-Kahn was hauled off a flight at JFK airport on May 14 and charged with trying to rape the maid after emerging naked from a bathroom as she arrived to clean his suite at the Manhattan Sofitel.
It was alleged that when she resisted, he had locked her inside the room and forced her to give him oral sex. Both sides appeared to accept that scientific tests proved a sexual encounter had taken place.
Yet attorneys for Mr Strauss-Kahn, who has consistently denied all the charges, promptly indicated that they believed evidence “would not be consistent with a forcible encounter”.
They later said they had “substantial information” about the maid that would “seriously undermine the quality of this prosecution and also gravely undermine the credibility of the complainant in this case.”
After a court hearing last month, Kenneth Thompson, an attorney for the maid, angrily dismissed suggestions that she was part of a conspiracy against the French Socialist.
He promised that she would “get on that witness stand and tell the world what Dominique Strauss-Kahn did to her”. Mr Thompson could not be reached for comment last night.
Asked why his client was due in court, Benjamin Brafman, Mr Strauss-Kahn’s attorney, earlier told The Daily Telegraph: “Bail application”. Asked to elaborate, he said: “No further comment tonight”.
A spokesman for Cyrus Vance, the Manhattan district attorney whose office oversees the prosecution, did not return a request for comment.
:rolleyes:
One of your wittier posts
Good one Runt.
Happy to see you proven correct after you jumped in on my coat tails a full two days after I called this thing a sham though. The main thing here though is an innocent man will go free.
Kahn for French President
Free Strauss Khan.
MBB the man here. I had DSK down as guilty all the way.
He did it.
High flying diplomat versus an asylum seeking maid. Don’t be so naive.
