Next Stop For Dominique Strauss-Kahn's Victim: Prison?

That would be ironic, but well within the realm of possibility. We've seen the unprecedented spectacle of a District Attorney, Cyrus Vance Jr. (spawn of Jimmy Carter's Secretary of State) of Manhattan publicly and thoroughly trash his own key witness, the victim herself. He's all but dropped the case already.

The victim has been caught committing immigration fraud (lying on an asylum application), tax fraud (claiming someone else's child as her own dependent for the extra deduction) and laundering money for drug dealers/counterfeit goods peddlers. At a minimum she's looking at deportation.

Which just goes to show, people with legal vulnerabilities CANNOT GO TO THE POLICE IF THEY ARE CRIME VICTIMS. Police and courts are ONLY for  WORTHY victims. That's nothing new in America.

Meanwhile DSK and his rich and power French elite cronies and backers will claim he was innocent, vindicated, a victim of a "barbaric" U.S. legal system. (Of course it is barbaric in many instances, but not this one.) They'll gnash their teeth at the "injustice" of DSK losing his cushy post as head of the IMF, an enforcement agency for international finance capital and enemy of millions of people.

His lawyers floated the story that the assault victim asked him for money afterwards, and he refused. Maybe that's when he bellowed "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" The way he looks at it, being used for his sexual pleasure is a privilege. Ungrateful Hottentot!
