The hotel maid who accuses International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn of trying to rape her is a 32-year-old immigrant from Guinea who told her brother, "somebody has done something really bad to me," according to media reports.
Her identity has been withheld in U.S. media publications, in accordance with standard journalistic practice. But media outlets in France, where Strauss-Kahn is from, began reporting her name Tuesday.
Among the outlets to identify the woman by name are Paris Match, radio station RMC, Swiss newspaper Tribune de Genève and Slate.fr, according to Slate.com. (Slate.fr is a French website that is editorially independent from Slate, although Slate does own 15 percent of it.)
Slate.fr, citing relatives of the accuser, reports that the woman is a legal immigrant from the west African nation of Guinea and is of the Fulani ethnic group. She is a Muslim who has been living in the U.S. since 1998, when she followed her then-husband to the United States. The pair later divorced, according to the report, and the woman is now a single parent of a 15-year-old daughter.
"She is a good Muslim. She is really pretty, like many Fulani women, but in our culture, we do not accept this type of aggression," a cousin of the woman told slate.fr.

Too bad it ain't for the Republican Party, whatever the hell that is nowadays!
Must have had something he wanted to hide on that particular cell phone.
I believe there was a UK case in which four guys got off a rape charge on appeal to the House of Lords. They had been recruited by her husband, who had told them to ignore her non-consent, saying being gang-banged was a fantasy she yearned to live out in real life.
Given he was going back and forth frequently between Europe and the US, he might well use one phone here and another over there. That's what I do. I have a GSM phone that I use in UK. I just buy a pay-go and activate when I'm there. Dirt cheap compared to roaming.
Immigrants, legal or otherwise, cannot vote. Although, in certain moonbat-infested locales, they periodically try to change that.
She’s divorced, maybe her good moslem ex gave it to her. Is she form Africa?
I have read that in Africa AIDS is mostly found in the heterosexuals population and it is pretty widespread.

Sofitel no doubt told them exactly who he was. In any case, a simple google would have elicited, Hey, Lieutenant, get a load of this!
maybe I'm naive but I never knew such places existed (not that there's anything wrong with that).
Just speculating, he taped the rape?
If he does, they should withhold treatment until his jail sentence is finished.
What a pompous arrogant jerk. Oh wait, he’s french. Isn’ that the norm?
To be a socialist, one has to inherently be an elitist,
else you’d not believe that “special” people can make decisions better than the individual.
Good point-——probably taped with his cell phone he left behind——that he desperately wanted to get back.
What is it this week with rich/powerful men and the maids?
I dunno. . .how about you dress-up like a maid and parade in front of Mr HollB and tell us what happens.
