One of Strauss-Kahn’s attorneys said the countersuit should come as no surprise to Diallo.
“She is directly responsible for his being arrested, imprisoned and subjected to extraordinary pain, anguish and expense,” said William W. Taylor in a statement.
He is now seeking compensation for the loss of his job, defamation and false imprisonment. His claim also demands further unspecified punitive damages as well as his legal fees.
Diallo, says Strauss-Kahn chased her down, tried to yank down her pantyhose and forced her to perform oral sex.
Strauss-Kahn was arrested, and spent several days behind bars and three months on house arrest before prosecutors dropped the criminal case, saying Diallo had lied about her background and changed her account of what she did after leaving Strauss-Kahn’s hotel room.
Strauss-Kahn also faces preliminary charges of being involved in a hotel prostitution ring in France.

Accused NYC madam makes legal switch _ her 3rdMay 16, 2012 10:34 AM ET
NEW YORK (AP) – The accused suburban-mom madam of a multimillion-dollar Manhattan escort service has moved on to a new legal team – her fourth.
A judge agreed Tuesday to let Anna Gristina make her third legal switch. She’s now represented by seasoned Connecticut civil rights and criminal defense lawyer Norman Pattis.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office says Gristina peddled prostitutes for 15 years and bragged that she had law-enforcement contacts. Gristina’s lawyers have said she was merely starting a matchmaking business.
She’s pleaded not guilty to promoting prostitution.
Altogether, nine lawyers have appeared on her case at various times. One former Gristina attorney, Peter Gleason, offered to put up his apartment for her $2 million bail.

Columbia Law School’s Sexuality and Gender Law Clinic sent letters to all New York state senators and assembly members urging support for a bill that would ban the use of condoms as evidence in prostitution cases, according to a press release. The letters say the measure addresses a growing public health crisis in the state: Prosecutors’ use of condoms as evidence leads many New Yorkersespecially those at heightened risk for prostitution arrestsnot to carry condoms at all. The bill (S.323/A.1008) is currently with the Rules Committee.

Daily News: And for proof that an exclusive does not necessarily mean a good story, look no further than the cover of the News today, which brings us word that a year ago, and months before the Secret Service scandal in Colombia, Arthur Huntington (the agent who allegedly stiffed the prostitute in Cartagena, blowing the scandal up) had an affair with a woman from Canada.
…
It took me a while to sort that out actually. There is a blown-up black-and-white photo of Huntington, with a red circle that says “FIRST PHOTO.” (Also red-top stuff: “FIRST PHOTO” means this is the first photo of Huntington to have emerged; not that the News is the first to publish it.) There’s a box with a red bar exclaiming the story an EXCLUSIVE, and an inset picture of the front page from April 20th, which carried a similar FIRST PHOTO of Cartagena prostitute Dania Suarez with a distinctly foreign-seeming red circle that read “WE BRING …

Prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney’s office have accused Gristina of masterminding an upscale prostitution ring for elite clients for decades. Her former lawyers have said she was running a dating service.
After years of wiretaps and surveillance, prosecutors have charged her with a single count of promoting prostitution, to which she has pleaded not guilty. She has been in jail for three months, as her lawyers attempt to reduce a $2 million bond.

Diallo’s lawyers said Strauss-Kahn’s defamation claim an example of the “misogynistic attitude” of a man who now faces preliminary charges of being involved in a hotel prostitution ring in France. As of last week, French investigators also studying accusations that Strauss-Kahn may have been involved in a rape during a sex party in a Washington hotel in 2010. Separately, a French writer accused him last year of having tried to rape her during a 2003 interview, an accusation prosecutors said was too old to try. He denies all the allegations.
