Dominique Strauss-Kahn Accuser Speaks Out in Exclusive ABC News Interview

Source: ABC News

In an exclusive television interview, ABC News' Robin Roberts speaks with the hotel employee who alleges she was sexually assaulted by former International Monetary Fund Chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn.

For the first time viewers will hear, in her own words, her version of the events that allegedly took place at the Sofitel Hotel in New York in May.

Strauss-Kahn, once considered the French presidential frontrunner, was recently released from house arrest after prosecutors said they had concerns about the hotel employee's credibility.

Strauss-Kahn denies all the allegations that have been made against him. The interview airs on Tuesday, July 26 on "Nightline" (11:35 p.m. ET) on the ABC Television Network.

2. Interview is free, pics are dear.
That is the "legit" way to buy stories in the US.

4. You mean poisoning the jury pool?
Do any of them believe this is going to trial? And if it is, which of them will be the defendant? She's a liar with a repertoire of convincing fake tears. Or not so convincing according to two of her interviewers.

It's very odd.

6. This most lilely means the case is going to be dropped.
The prosecutor has had problems with her from the beginning we have learned, and with her story.

With all the revelations contradicting the initial 'picture' presented of this woman, there seems no way to go forward with the case.

Very foolish of her to do this, because now she has broken the 'shield' and the defense will be free to release all the information they have on her and her friends. I would think the defense will be happy with this development.

9. The lawyers of the accused are upset, so this must be a good move on her part.
