Developments related to sexual assault charges against Strauss-Kahn
From CNN.com:
New York (CNN) -- A New York district attorney plans to drop criminal charges against former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn related to allegations that he sexually assaulted a hotel housekeeper, attorneys for both the housekeeper and Strauss-Kahn said Monday.
Kenneth Thompson, who represents alleged victim Nafissatou Diallo, addressed reporters after a meeting with prosecutors that lasted less than half an hour, and hours after filing a motion asking a judge to halt proceedings in the case and appoint a special prosecutor.
The New York Times also has coverage.

What a strange move. Did they settle out of court for a nice dollar amount? Or could they just not put together enough evidence?
