    just following up ... with yet ANOTHER highly publicized reason why exotic dancers are not likely to be believed by the police or by members of a jury ...

    from

    (snip)A judge has released Dominique Strauss-Kahn on his own recognizance as investigators say they have discovered significant problems with the credibility of the hotel maid who accused him of sexual assault in May.

    The development Friday means he is no longer under house arrest, and is free to move about town until his next court appearance July 18. The prosecution said Friday it is not moving to dismiss charges "at this time," but acknowledged the case has now been thrown into turmoil after the latest revelations about the maid.

    The credibility issues have "caused us to reassess the position... about the strength of the case," Assistant District Attorney Joan Illuzzi-Orbon said in court.

    The accusations against Strauss-Kahn have reverberated internationally since the alleged incident; he was once a likely top French presidential contender, and has since resigned his post as head of the International Monetary Fund.

    In a letter prosecutors filed with the court Friday, they detailed some of the credibility issues with the Sofitel Hotel maid, including that she changed her story about what she did right after the alleged assault on May 14.

    The letter also discusses inconsistencies on the maid's application for asylum from Guinea, where she is from. The lies, which were made under penalty of perjury, could expose her to federal charges.(snip)

    In the asylum application, and to prosecutors, the maid claimed her family was persecuted and harassed by Guinea's dictatorial regime, and that police and government soldiers had destroyed her home and beaten her and her husband.

    She later admitted to prosecutors that the information was a lie, the letter said.

    The letter also suggests that she falsely claimed to have been gang raped in Guinea.

    While recounting that previous rape story to prosecutors, the maid cried and "appeared to be markedly distraught when recounting the incident."

    But in subsequent interviews, "she admitted that the gang rape had never occurred," the letter said.


    Every additional highly publicized incident of a girl claiming to have been raped / sexually assaulted etc. and eventually 'proven' to be lying her ass off in hopes of personal gain reinforces the stereotype. As such, girls who are exotic dancers, escorts, or otherwise involved in the 'sex industry' now have practically ZERO credibility when claiming to be the victims of rape / sexual assault. A large pile of resentment and fear of liability is piling up against DA's and police who allow such charges to be brought against prominent Ivy League students, professional Athetes, bankers, etc. ... because they ultimately can be sued for 'irreparable damage' to the careers and professional reputations that the mere lodging of a 'false' CHARGE of rape / sexual assault typically causes.

    Again I'm not saying this is 'right' or 'fair' ... but it is quickly becoming 'real world' fact ! In other words, in the absence of incontrovertible evidence like a security tape or an independent third party witness, these days police and DA's are going to assume that any 'he said - she said' situation is actually the result of the dancer / escort / 'sex industry' worker agreeing to consensual sex and then claiming rape / sexual assault after the fact in hopes of financial enrichment.

    I'm happy they believe me! They said theyre really busy atm but they are definitely going to arrest him some time this week.
    If he then admits he did it he's getting away with just a serious caution which I think is lame. But if he doesnt admit it then I can chose if I wanna take it to court and I think I will, this sick fuck needs to be punished.

    The other employee that rang me the other day can get charged for harrasment or something if he keeps contacting me...

    Also, tonight is my very first time in the club, I have a lesson before the place opens so thats good I guess! Im so so nervous and excited but this whole sex assault thing has kinda put me off a bit
    wtf, if he admits to assault he gets off? that cant be right. unless england's laws are totally different than the US, admitting guilt will not let him off the hook. this isnt grade school where you get bonus points for being honest and saying sorry. I cant believe they didnt arrest this guy already, this makes me suspect they are not taking it seriously.

    i would also put an account of what happened up on yelp, google review, or whatever reviews are used most frequently in their city. Try to deter other girls from bringing them business and getting assaulted.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    ^^ Agreed. Tell everyone you know, and post this shit all over the internet anywhere his shop is mentioned. Be noisy about it. That's what gets results.

    I've read other threads on here about this happening to other girls so it reminds me to be careful. I never thought about not going into some shops alone but now if I dont know the shop I will bring a friend and pay by cash - so they don't know my name.

    This guy should get more that a caution, what about being placed on the Sex Offender Registrar?? (I forget the name of it.)
    When Im in the UK I normally go to Ann Summers and never any probs there. I hope you are feeling better and its great that you reported him.
