Prosecutors will agree to drop the charges against Dominique Strauss-Kahn either on his next court date in two weeks or even sooner, according to a top investigator in the case who called the eventual dismissal "a certainty."
"Her credibility is so bad now, we know we cannot sustain a case with her," Meanwhile, defense sources described a different scenario, in which DSK admittedly engaged with the maid in a consensual, sex-for-money exchange in his Sofitel suite, with no force involved and she turned against him only when he stiffed her.
"In the past, guests have left stuff for her," meaning money, one source close to the defense investigation said last night. "She goes back to look for the money," and is disappointed, the source said.
Also likely irking the maid? "His dismissive nature," said the source.
Multiple investigators for the defense and prosecution have confirmed that they believe the maid was turning tricks at the hotel, and prosecution sources have even accused her of continuing to "entertain" male visitors while in a DA safehouse.
For six weeks, the maid told investigators a credible and compelling story about her travails of rape and beatings in escaping Guinea's violent regime, and about her alleged re-victimization last month by Strauss-Kahn.
Officials realized that for six weeks, ever since the May 14 incident, she had bamboozled some of the best minds in the storied Manhattan DA's Office, including a trio of seasoned top investigators with a combined 75 years in the business Joan Illuzzi-Orbon, Ann Prunty and Chief DA Investigator Rob Mooney.
