MANHATTAN — Prosecutors are expected to drop the charges against Dominique Strauss-Kahn on or before his next court date in two weeks, a top investigator told the New York Post.
"We all know this case is not sustainable," the source told the paper, claiming the case's dismissal was a "certainty."
Prosecutors raised questions at a hearing last week about the credibility of the Midtown hotel maid who claimed the now-former IMF head had sexually assaulted her in his swanky suite.
"Her credibility is so bad now, we know we cannot sustain a case with her," the source reportedly said. "She is not to be believed in anything that comes out of her mouth — which is a shame, because now we may never know what happened in that hotel room."
In a major turnaround for the alleged May 14 attack, prosecutors agreed to release Strauss-Kahn without bail on Friday after concerns about the maid's credibility began to emerge.
The one-time presidential hopeful of France, however, may face a new sexual assault investigation.
French journalist Tristane Banon said she would formally accuse the world leader of attempting to rape her during a 2002 interview.
Strauss-Kahn's legal team has said he would counter suing for slander.
