NEW YORK (Reuters) - a scrutiny of the accuser in the case of sexual assault against former IMF Chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn has intensified on Saturday after several revelations about his conduct after the alleged attack on May 14.
A judge released Strauss-Kahn under house arrest and strict bail conditions was lifted Friday after prosecutors discovered a motive to lie in the context of the accuser, although serious charges, including sexual assault and attempted rape remain in place against human once given a candidate for the Presidency back to the top French.
A new report, said the 32-year-old woman, a servant of the hotel speaks of the possibility of financial gain of the incident.

The call has been registered and the woman said her boyfriend, she was well and not have to worry about it, said the source.
The New York Times quoted an official of the right application well placed by saying: "she said words to the effect of," don't worry, this guy has a lot of money. I know what I'm doing. » »

Revelations about the accuser gave prosecutors of difficulty dealing with a central witness whose credibility could be targeted by counsel for the defence of Strauss-Kahn.
Investigators holding once the woman as a devout Muslim who immediately reported that Strauss-Kahn, a steward of the global economy of the French elite, bathrooms nude sprang and forced to perform oral sex.
His lawyer, Kenneth Thompson, a defense Friday, describing him as a terrified, illiterate woman who remained a victim, his body severely scarred in the meeting.
"Here, the victim may have made a few mistakes but this does not mean that it is not a rape victim," said Thompson.
