NEW YORK (AP) – The hotel maid at the center of the now-teetering sex assault case against Dominique Strauss-Kahn filed a libel lawsuit Tuesday against the New York Post after the tabloid reported she was a prostitute.
The woman’s lawyer, Kenneth Thompson, filed the claim in Bronx state Supreme Court after the Post, relying on anonymous sources, referred to the 32-year-old as a “prostitute” and a “hooker.” The paper also reported that she “traded sex for money” and turned tricks at a Brooklyn hotel while she was being housed by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office.

“We filed the suit because rape victims should not be called prostitutes,” Thompson said.

“In an apparent desperate attempt to bolster its rapidly plunging sales, defendant New York Post ran a series of defamatory articles which … stated as fact that the plaintiff is a prostitute,” according to the suit.
