Former International Monetary Fund leader Dominique Strauss-Kahn and a Nafissatou Diallo, the New York City hotel maid, have signed a settlement of her sexual assault lawsuit, a judge announced Monday, saying terms of the deal were confidential, AP reported Dec. 10. The lawsuit stemmed from a May 2011 hotel suite encounter. It also spurred criminal charges, forced Strauss-Kahn's resignation from the IMF and cut off his potential candidacy for the French presidency. The criminal case was dropped after prosecutors said his accuser had credibility problems. She said she always told the truth about the encounter. Strauss-Kahn called her suit defamatory and countersued for $1 million.
