Nafissatou Diallo maintains the former IMF chief assaulted her; says case should go to trial.
The New York City hotel maid who accused former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexual assault in May has revealed her name and face in an exclusive ABC interview. Nafissatou Diallo, a
32-year-old Guinean immigrant, says she walked into Strauss-Kahn’s Sofitel hotel room to clean it, where she saw him naked. Diallo says she apologized and he then proceeded to assault her. When asked about the inconsistencies in her story which prevented the case from going to trial, she noted “mistakes” in her testimony, but argued that DSK is culpable nonetheless—and her case deserves to be heard by a judge.
