Source: Prosecutors, Strauss-Kahn lawyers to meet

NEW YORK (AP) — Manhattan prosecutors will meet with defense lawyers who are pushing for sexual assault charges against Dominique Strauss-Kahn to be immediately dropped.

That’s according to a person familiar with the case, who tells The Associated Press that the meeting is planned today.

The person was not authorized to speak publicly about the case and spoke on condition of anonymity

Just a few weeks ago, the sex case against the former International Monetary Fund leader looked ironclad.

Prosecutors are now rethinking whether they can even go forward with the case after finding that Strauss-Kahn’s accuser wasn’t truthful about her background and about the aftermath of the alleged sex attack.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office has said only that it is still investigating.
