A wide range of community leaders are standing behind the hotel maid accusing Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sex assault, even though her credibility has been hammered. "Rumors about this woman's past that have nothing to do with the case, and even if they were true should not prevent her case from being heard," said one New York state senator at a press conference yesterday.
Many legal experts have said that the maid's lies and inconsistencies would make the case impossible to pursue, and several sources have said the charges are about to be dropped. But the Manhattan district attorney said yesterday that no decision has been made and his investigation continues, notes CNN. "We're talking about the face of women who have been victimized, too often judged by the media and public on rumors and innuendos, and not about facts that will ultimately be determined in a court of law," said the leader of a black women's rights group.
