Maid speaks out about alleged DSK hotel attack

[proud2BlibKansan]

The maid accusing Dominique Strauss-Kahn of assaulting her in a Manhattan hotel room is speaking out publicly for the first time.

Nafissatou Diallo tells Newsweek she wants the former IMF leader to go to jail. She alleges he sexually assaulted her while she was working at a Midtown hotel in May. Her photo is on the cover of the magazine.

ABC News says it will carry an exclusive broadcast interview with Diallo on three of its programs, starting Monday.

She told the network she never wanted to be in the public eye but had no choice, amid questions about her credibility.

1. Of course she didn't want to be in the public eye,

she just wanted a quick and quiet payday. A pos extortionist. This reminds me of the Duke lacrosse witch hunt.

[Ruby the Liberal]

5. +1

[whathehell]

7. Do you say that about all rape victims?

You disgust me.

[aquart]

8. She was raped?

By a naked man a head shorter getting ready to have lunch with his daughter and then fly overseas?

Sure she was.

But if that man was able to walk out of a shower and get an immediate hard on at age 62 WHICH HE HAD TO HAVE DONE IF YOU BOTHER TO CHECK THE TIME LINES (AND THERE ARE SEVERAL)then, my dear, he WILL become President of France.

[seabeyond]

9. so, if an old man can get a boner fast enough to rape a woman, gives him the pres in france?

wow

[whathehell]

11. They seem to admire him a lot...

Maybe they are projecting their own desires to get

"up close and personal" with the fat old lech themselves?:shrug:

[seabeyond]

12. the real denial about posters comment is that he couldnt get it up, though they have his sperm

mixed in her saliva on the carpet and wall.

even in that short time, as he was getting ready to have lunch with his daughter

[whathehell]

10. She wasn't?...Oh, of course not.....It was "love at first sight", I'm sure

She saw this old fat pig with with a history of rape

allegations, so instantly "irresistible"

that she just had to give him a blow job, and then throw up on the walls.

Sounds like "real life" to me:eyes:

[aquart]

37. Now it's a "history of rape allegations"????

Really new history.

Very big woman. Small old man. BLOW JOB?

So now it's a blow job? And she doesn't have TEETH?

He was naked without a weapon and she couldn't BITE him?

Where are HIS wounds?

Wow. Vomit on walls. Interesting. Projectile vomiting. Delicate gag reflex or not, that one ain't easy. Was she tested for drugs?

[whathehell]

51. Split all the hairs you want

in the interests of rape apology.

The "he was shorter and she should have bit him"

are the weakest excuses of all.

DSK is "short", but hardly "small" and, as anyone

can tell you, men generally have more strength, ESPECIALLY upper body strength

than women...You might think about what that means when someone's head

is beneath yours.

You might also consider that hotel maids ACROSS THE BOARD have come out,

and complained that they are frequently "hit on" by guests*

then add that to the psychological power of a rich "guest"

over an immigrant maid in a hotel.

* Oh wait...I'm sure those greedy maids are also looking for a "payoff".:eyes:

[99th_Monkey]

39. He didn't have to get it all the way up though, not to get a blow job anyway

and I think that's what the maid is saying that he forced her to service him orally.

[bbinacan]

13. Rape victim?

DSK seems to be the victim. You disgust me. :puke:

[whathehell]

18. I'm sure Mr. three thousand dollar a night hotel room rapist is the "true" victim

and ALL those women, one the daughter of a friend, for fuck's

sake, are all just "man hating" castrators..:puke:

Where's Lorena Bobbitt when you need her?

back at ya, apologist :rofl:

[bbinacan]

31. You just described yourself

better than I ever could.:evilgrin:

[whathehell]

53. No, I just described You

better than YOU could, lol.:evilgrin:

[aquart]

38. So all rapists are rich and that's how you know who they are?

[whathehell]

49. Umm..No..but this one is.

[whathehell]

16. The Duke lacrosse "witch hunt"...Awww...these poor "boys" just can't get a break, can they?

You get ONE false allegations and they're all

just a "witch hunt", aren't they..Why, everyone KNOWS

we girls are just picking on you boys who

are just SO unable to do this bad shit

we're so mean and nasty to accuse them of, when

in reality, we know there are far MORE

actual rapes than are reported.

Cry me a fucking river.:puke:

[NaturalHigh]

48. Agreed on both points.

I wonder if this woman will end up stabbing someone to death like Crystal Mangum, the woman who accused the lacrosse players. It's amazing that people still try to paint both women as victims.

[LanternWaste]

50. And many other rape cases too, I imagine.

"This reminds me of the Duke lacrosse witch hunt..."

And many other rape cases too, I'd hazard. I imagine the human condition predisposes its own sentences of guilt and innocence in ways that better validate our own pre-suppositions and belief systems.

[alcibiades_mystery]

2. This isn't going to end well

[bbinacan]

3. You got that right...

:popcorn: Need some butter?

[bbinacan]

4. What are your thoughts on Wu? n/t

[seabeyond]

6. it sounds like he raped a child from allegations. gonna have some popcorn with that, too? nt

[bbinacan]

14. Please pass the butter

and salt. Thanks!:toast: :smoke: :spank: :hi: :popcorn:

[seabeyond]

15. so a child saying she was raped by this old man entertains you, too. is that what you are stating

for all of du to read about you?

you find it entertaining our old men raping our girls?

[Bladian]

20. Every post I've seen by you is outlandish and lacks a firm grasp on reality.

You are twisting his words to such a huge degree. It's sickening.

[seabeyond]

23. really? what about wu? how about some popcorn. i asked a question for clarification

at least, i am willing to ask ..... TWICE... if that is really what he is saying.

how can ASKING for clarification make me wrong.

[whathehell]

26. Just distraction

doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about.

[bbinacan]

21. Wrong

I find it entertaining that some continue to want to assemble the lynch mob for DSK. Yet they make no comments or assertions about Wu. A selective point of view that makes me sit back and watch. What's the OP's opinion of Wu? Send out the villagers with pitchforks? Well?

[seabeyond]

24. yet, you equally have no qualm sending the lynch mob on the maid. nt

[bbinacan]

30. No lynch mob

the "maid"? I guess we'll have to await the trial.

[seabeyond]

34. ah, kinda like you have? really

i love this pissing in your pants about accusation of dks, while all kinds of ranting about the made setting him up is used.

ya

will wait

[bbinacan]

36. Uh?

that reply makes no sense.

[whathehell]

25. What the fuck does "Wu" have to do with it?...Oh, I see..distract and divert. n/t

[LisaL]

42. What child?

[seabeyond]

43. my bad. they said teenager, and i had read one that said underage.

probably she was 18, maybe 19.

17. i think you are mistaken.

[seabeyond]

22. please clarify. i have not been following. just read this. where would i be wrong.

Wu and his staff have not commented on the explosive allegations since issuing a short statement Friday, when the news first broke in The Oregonian. The newspaper reported that Wu “acknowledged a sexual encounter to his senior aides but insisted it was consensual,” according to sources aware of the incident.

The woman left a “distraught” voice mail at Wu’s congressional office in Portland, a message heard by some of Wu’s staffers. The woman “accused Wu of aggressive and unwanted sexual behavior,” The Oregonian reported. A Democratic insider familiar with the call said the claims against Wu “were disgusting and appalling.”

Wu has not commented on the incident beyond issuing a one-sentence statement Friday: “This is very serious, and I have absolutely no desire to bring unwanted publicity, attention or stress to a young woman and her family.”

The teenager and her family have not filed a criminal complaint against the longtime lawmaker, but the incident, the second accusation of inappropriate sexual behavior by Wu, is “extremely troubling” to Pelosi and other Democrats, said party insiders.

*

Wu was accused of attempted rape in 1976 by a former girlfriend, although no criminal charges were filed. Wu was attending Stanford at the time. He was ordered to receive counseling and was disciplined by the university, and he privately apologized to the woman. The allegations became public shortly before the 2004 elections. “As a 21-year-old, I hurt someone I cared very much about. I take full responsibility for my actions, and I am very sorry,” Wu said in a statement to The Oregonian. “This single event forever changed my life and the person that I have become.”

27. were the charges against DSK dropped? I thought the police

were going to drop them....maybe the case isn't as weak as they thought.

[seabeyond]

28. the police never said they would. they said her story of the rape was consistent with evidence.

media and speculation said what was going to be dropped

[sabrina 1]

64. It isn't up to the police. It is up to the prosecutor.

The prosecutor has issued a statement about the case, admitting that there are huge problems with the woman's story. After the revelations from the prosecutor, DSK was released from house arrest and his next court date, on July 18th, was cancelled.

A lot has been revealed now about the woman's story, much of the original story, which came mostly from Murdoch's NY Post, has been discredited.

Two of her original attorneys, quietly, early on, quit. It has now been revealed that the prosecutor knew of these problems with her story early on in the case but did not reveal them to the defense at that time. The defense had its own investigative team and apparently has some pretty damning information on the woman which so far, they have not revealed.

Meantime, a new IMF chief was installed, Geithner's choice, and the date for the French presidential primaries passed. So, regardless of the facts of THIS case, it definitely served to stop DSK from meeting with Merkel over the Greek crisis and from running for President of France.

I noticed in her TV interview btw, that she contradicted earlier reports regarding her knowledge of who DSK was. Earlier reports stated that immediately after the incident she reported it (that has been proven now to be incorrect btw) and was shown a photo of DSK, whose picture was hanging in the hotel as is the custom when they have important guests.

In her TV interview, however, she claimed she did not know who he was until she saw reports on TV the day after the incident. Hard to believe since she spent hours with the police and did see the photo, the day before. She also was heard on a taped phone call to an inmate in Az said to be either her boyfriend, or husband, talking about how there 'is money' in this this and that she knew what she was doing.

There is a lot more regarding the actual evidence, much of which has been discredited, but suffice it to say that even if the trial goes forward, it is unlikely that they will win considering even what we now know.

Most legal analysts believe the case will be dropped. She, the maid, is also in danger of being prosecuted (and/or sued by DSK herself), for lying to Govt agents, and for lying on her papers to get a Green Card.

Her current attorney has some issues of his own, having been cited in the past for 'unethical' behavior.

The unusual decision to do interviews according to legal experts, probably means she has been told the case will most likely be dropped as no accuser has ever before done this, as it will make the case that much more difficult for the prosecutors. Her description of the events, eg, is very similar to the one she gave regarding the 'gang rape' which was false, and for which she was coached. I am sure the defense would have a field day with it.

[indurancevile]

29. If you haven't been following it, where do you get off accusing someone of "raping a child"??

1. The woman in question is not "a child". She's either 18 or 19 and graduated from high school last year.

2. Rape is not the allegation. "Unwanted/aggressive sexual behavior" is the allegation.

http://www.blueoregon.com/2011/07/david-wu-accused-agressive-unwanted-sexual-behavior/

[seabeyond]

33. “accused Wu of aggressive and unwanted sexual behavior,”

he admitted to the sex, consensual. so the unwanted sex would be rape even if they call it “aggressive and unwanted sexual behavior,”

and yea... looks like she hit that magic 18, maybe 19 being raped by a man almost FOUR decades older.

thanks for clarification i asked for

feel SO much better about the story

[indurancevile]

35. no allegation of rape has been made. i see you have no qualms about making false accusations.

not the kind of character anyone wants defending them.

i'll discount anything you say on the subject of rape or sexual harrassment from this day forward.

[seabeyond]

40. he says consensual sex. she says aggressive and unwanted.

that is rape.

i did say alleged. what she is claiming

i dont get where your issue is.

[LisaL]

41. I have no clue whatsoever as to where you could possibly

get an idea she is 18 or 19. It has been reported she is 32.

[seabeyond]

45. The teenager and her family have not filed a criminal complaint

"The teenager and her family have not filed a criminal complaint against the longtime lawmaker, but the incident, the second accusation of inappropriate sexual behavior by Wu, is “extremely troubling” to Pelosi and other Democrats, said party insiders."

post 22, i have the link to the article.

as i said at the beginning. i had heard mention, but had read nothing on this issue until the poster asked what about Wu.

i googled and got this article.

that is all i know about it.

[indurancevile]

44. "aggressive & unwanted sexual behavior" could have been anything from

flashing her to rape. if it was rape, i assume she would have claimed rape.

like i said, you accused wu of "child rape" without even knowing anything about the case.

why would anyone pay any attention to anything you said when you are clearly comfortable with false accusations based on something you haven't even paid attention to. and even when the facts are pointed out, you continue with the false accusations. sickening.

[seabeyond]

46. she says unwanted, he states consensual sex. nt

[indurancevile]

47. no, she says "sexual behavior". you are irrational on this topic. goodbye.

[whathehell]

56. So, you're comfortable with a middle-aged congressman "flashing" a teenager?

Your standards are a bit low, it seems

Why would anyone pay attention to anything YOU say when

it's clear you are comfortable with men in prominent positions

pushing their "unwanted sexual behavior" on women decades younger than they.

Do you have a similar "problem"?

[indurancevile]

59. i never said anything of the sort, but thanks for showing me YOUR standards of argument,

which include purveyance of straw men & ad hominem.

[whathehell]

60. Your standards, honey...You are the one who mentioned "flashing"

in your haste to examples of "unwanted sexual advances".

"Strawmen" and "ad hominem" your ass.

[indurancevile]

61. i don't argue with people like yourself. goodbye.

[whathehell]

66. That's a wise move on your part. Bye.

[JanMichael]

32. interesting; you should see this thread from my screen:

I can't see but about 3 of the replies. I don't think I have ever seen that before on DU.

[musette_sf]

54. I hear you

[lapislzi]

63. Yeah, my ignore list is having a party

:hi:

[Proles]

52. It's really quite clear...

It's really quite clear she was lying, and Dominique was framed.

Think about it, he wanted to run as President of France as a Socialist candidate.

And the minute they *think* he did this illegal act, they immediately get police to pull him off an aircraft? It just all seemed like a well orchestrated sting. They would have never done such a thing to an average person.

I'm normally not one for conspiracy theories, but sometimes it's better to use common sense.

[whathehell]

55. It's really not at all clear

The man has a history of sexual aggression...He even tried to rape

the daughter of a friend, and yes, according to her account,

it was an attempted rape...She's filed charges against him.


http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2011/07/05/dsk_attempted_rape_of_tristane_banon_french_journalist_is_filing.html

[Proles]

57. Well in that case, I may be wrong, but

I still find the whole thing rather suspect.

[whathehell]

58. In my view,

There are some unanswered questions, so It's not

a hundred percent that he's guilty, but all things considered,

it's not a hundred percent he's not, either.

I guess we'll have to wait for the trial.

[sabrina 1]

65. That case is falling apart, the mother has been accused of lying

I think you should find out more about these cases before making statements like 'he has a history of sexual aggression'. He does not.

Murdoch would be proud of some of what goes on on these threads.:eyes:

[truebrit71]

62. Nothing to do with the civil suit she has filed, right?

You lied, you got caught, go away.
