Dominique Strauss Kahn, who faces charges in France of promoting prostitution, has filed suit against the Sofitel hotel maid who charged him with rape.
The countersuit, seeks at least $1 million plus undetermined punitive damages from the maid, Nafissatou Diallo, who is accused by DSK of "falsely and maliciously asserting" she was attacked.
The 18-page document accuses Diallo of malicious prosecution, abuse of process, false imprisonment, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
"Ms Diallo participated in the commencement and maintenance of a baseless criminal prosecution," the suit said, "and in doing so intended to injure Mr Strauss-Kahn."
