Hotel maid who accused a former IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who tried to rape her in a hotel room in New York City finally came to the public in an exclusive interview with ABC News.
"I want justice. I want him to jail," said Nafissatou Diallo told Robin Roberts of ABC in an interview that will air on "Good Morning America" and "World News with Diane Sawyer" on Monday when the U.S. and in the show "Nightline" on Tuesday. "I wanted him to know that there are a number of places where you can not use your money, you can not use your influence when you do something like this," she said in the interview, as quoted by abcnews.go.com, Monday (25 / 7 / 2011).
Strauss-Kahn will probably not go to jail. Manhattan District Attorney, Cy Vance, is considering whether to dismiss the case was in the middle of "concern" about the doubts about the credibility of Diallo.
According to abcnews.go.com, there is no restriction in the interview and asked about the Diallo case that led prosecutors to "reassess the strength of the case." Diallo acknowledged some mistakes, but he also said, they should not hinder Vance's office to continue the case.
"God is my witness, I tell the truth from my heart. God knows that, and he (Strauss-Khan) knows it," he said.
The woman's allegations, Strauss-Kahn had attacked him in room 2806 at Hotel Sofitel, New York, has made a messy political situation of France and one of the world's banking institutions are most prominent.
In the interview, she recounts the times when the alleged attack occurred, even on one occasion he was kneeling on the floor to illustrate how Strauss-Kahn tried to force her to have sex.
"I never wanted the spotlight, but I have no choice," said Diallo told ABC News. "Now, I have to appear in public. I must, for the sake of myself. I must tell the truth."
Lawyers Strauss-Kahn explicitly denied that their client had committed any crime occurred. They say, what goes on in the hotel room was consensual act and, in a statement, they called Diallo interview as a "circus unworthy". "The goal is clear, that inflame public opinion against the defendant in a criminal case pending," wrote William Taylor and Benjamin Brafman said in a statement.
While the Manhattan District Attorney's Office declined to comment on the interview. "It's a pending criminal case," said Erin Duggan, a spokeswoman for the district attorney's office. "In order to protect the integrity of the criminal justice system, victims' rights, and rights of the accused, we will not discuss the facts or evidence of something that is under investigation."
The interview took place in the office of lawyer Diallo, Kenneth Thompson, in Manhanttan. Thompson told ABC News that he plans to file a civil lawsuit against Strauss-Kahn on behalf of his client.
