Aug. 24 - Yesterday, Tuesday 23rd August, the New York City's Manhattan District Attorney Mr. Cyrus Vance's office decided to drop of all charges against Mr. Dominique Strauss-Khan, who had been accused by Ms. Nafissatou Diallo, an immigrant from Guinea, who accused him of trying to rape her. The Manhattan DA based his action on spurious argument about Ms. Diallo having made false statements in the past, which should have had nothing to do with establishing whether she was raped or not by Strauss-Khan. By dropping the case, the Manhattan District Attorney's office has raped Ms. Diallo twice.



In his motion to dismiss the case, what is clearly established is that the defendant, residues of Mr. Strauss-Khan's sperm was found on Ms. Diallo's dress. Now because of the fact that they inferred she had lied in the past, that they could not establish truthfulness as to how this came about, whether it was consensual or not.
