Strauss-Kahn Charges Should Be Dismissed in Attack Case, Prosecutors Say

Aug. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Douglas Burns, a formal federal prosecutor, talks about the chances a judge today will dismiss sexual assault charges against former International Monetary Fund Chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. filed a motion yesterday seeking dismissal of the charges, saying Strauss-Kahn's accuser, housekeeper Nafissatou Diallo, made numerous false statements and gave prosecutors and a grand jury “irreconcilable accounts” about events immediately after the encounter.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn , the former International Monetary Fund chief accused of sexually assaulting a hotel maid, shouldn’t be tried because his accuser told too many lies about the alleged attack, Manhattan prosecutors said.

The housekeeper, Nafissatou Diallo, made numerous false statements and gave prosecutors and a grand jury “irreconcilable accounts” about events immediately after the encounter, leaving investigators unable to determine what actually occurred, prosecutors from the office of District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. said in a motion filed yesterday seeking dismissal of the charges.

“If after a careful assessment of the facts, the prosecutor is not convinced that a defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, he or she must decline to proceed,” assistant district attorneys Joan Illuzzi-Orbon and John McConnell said in the filing. “While an abiding concern for victims of crime is an essential attribute for every prosecutor working in the office, that concern cannot eclipse our obligation to act only on the evidence and the facts.
