NEW YORK — The lawyer for the woman who accused former International Monetary Fund head Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexual assault says he believes prosecutors plan to dismiss some or all of the charges.
Attorney Kenneth Thompson tells The New York Times he got a letter from an assistant district attorney asking to meet with his client Monday, the day before Strauss-Kahn’s next scheduled court appearance.
Thompson says he thinks prosecutors wouldn’t have asked to meet unless they planned to give her bad news. A spokeswoman for the district attorney’s office declined to comment.
