A New York judge has dismissed the sexual assault case against former IMF director Dominique Strauss-Kahn. The move came as prosecutors cited doubts over the credibility of his accuser, 32-year-old hotel maid Nafissatou Diallo. Mr Strauss-Kahn, 62, was accused in May of attacking the African immigrant as she entered his hotel room to clean it. The dismissal of criminal charges at the New York State Supreme Court will take effect once the judge rules on an appeal against the move. Mr Strauss-Kahn, considered a French Presidential contender before the case, arrived for the hearing in lower Manhattan on Tuesday in a six-car motorcade with his wife Anne Sinclair.
