Nafissatou Diallo: ”We cry everyday”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The hotel maid who accuses ex-IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn of attempted rape may file a civil suit if prosecutors do not press criminal charges, her lawyer says.<\/p>\n

The Manhattan district attorney’s office has publicly announced they had doubts about the credibility of Nafissatou Diallo’s allegations.<\/p>\n

Making her first public appearance, Ms Diallo spoke of the pain the case had caused her and her family.<\/p>\n

Mr Strauss-Kahn has denied the charges.<\/p>\n

“What she wants is justice and if the prosecutors are not going to bring this case to trial then we have to look for justice and what I look forward to is putting this case before a jury,” Ms Diallo’s lawyer, Kenneth Thompson told a news conference.<\/p>\n

When pressed by journalists when he might launch this case, he said: “Soon. Soon is soon.”<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Ms Diallo and Mr Thompson met prosecutors for eight hours.<\/p>\n

It was their first meeting since the Manhattan district attorney’s office said it had doubts about her credibility because of false statements on her asylum application and a taped recording of a telephone conversation between Ms Diallo and a friend in an Arizona jail.<\/p>\n

Mr Thompson said a translated transcript revealed that the conversation, the day after the alleged attempted rape, focused on what had happened to Ms Diallo, and not on Mr Strauss-Kahn’s wealth.<\/p>\n

Ms Diallo was reported to have discussed with the man how to obtain money from the French politician.<\/p>\n

‘Stop crying’<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Thompson was speaking after Ms Diallo made a emotional public appeal for people to believe her allegations.<\/p>\n

“A lot of things people say about me are not true,” she continued.<\/p>\n

Her daughter, she said, had told her: “You have to remember this guy is a powerful man – everybody knows that. But for you, only the people who work with you, your neighbours, the people back home, know you.<\/p>\n

“But those people say good things about you because they know you. Please mum, stop crying, be strong for me.”<\/p>\n

She said she had promised her daughter she would be strong “for you and every other woman in the world”.<\/p>\n

“What happened to me I don’t want to happen to any other woman,” she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
