Dominique Strauss-Kahn walks free


Case crumbles Seven weeks after a haggard, rumpled and scowling shadow of Dominique Strauss- Kahn was first hauled in front of a New York judge, his old self swaggered into room 1324 at the state supreme court on Friday with a wry smile.

In a crisp navy suit, pressed white shirt and baby blue tie, he beamed like a man already plotting his sensational comeback as an international statesman, as New York prosecutors and lawyers for the 32- year-old hotel maid who continues to allege that he tried to rape her looked shell-shocked. Eight minutes later, the 62- year-old – who had been under house arrest and armed guard in a Manhattan townhouse, wearing an electronic tag – was free. The $1 million (£620 ,000) cash bail and $5 million (£3.1 million) bond put up by his wife, the wealthy heiress Anne Sinclair, were returned. Joan Illuzzi-Orbon, an assistant district attorney, told the court that " the fact of a sexual encounter" between the pair after the maid arrived to clean suite 2086 of the Manhattan Sofitel on May 14 , "was and is corroborated by the forensic evidence". However, "substantial credibility issues" had been found with the maid, following a "comprehensive and thorough investigation of all aspects of this case, including the background of the complainant and her various statements about the incident". A filing to the court confirmed extraordinary overnight leaks to the media, stating that the Guinean single mother had admitted to lying on her application for asylum in the US in 2004 , lied about previously being raped and lied on her income tax returns.
