In his first public comments since taking on the 32-year-old Sofitel maid's
|
|
case, Jeffrey Shapiro said the trauma she experienced during and after the
|
|
alleged assault had been "extraordinary".
|
|
|
|
The maid alleges that when she arrived to clean the IMF managing director's
|
|
suite at noon on Saturday, he locked her inside, attempted to rape her and
|
|
forced her to give him oral sex.
|
|
|
|
Before the alleged attack, she lived in a small flat in The Bronx, the
|
|
northernmost borough of New York City, with her teenage daughter.
|
|
|
|
"Her world has been turned upside down," said Mr Shapiro. "This is a person
|
|
who was a hardworking woman, she's a single mother supporting a 15-year-old
|
|
young woman. They live together.
|
|
|
|
"And she was grateful to have a job, through which she could provide food and
|
|
shelter for the two of them," he told CNN.

"Since this has occurred, she's not been able to go home, can't go back to
|
|
work. She's no idea what her future is going to be, in any respect.
|
|
|
|
"So aside from what took place in the hotel room, the trauma that has taken
|
|
place in her life is extraordinary."
|
|
|
|
The maid, who has not been named due to the nature of the alleged crime, was
|
|
born in Guinea, in west Africa, and had worked at the Sofitel for the last
|
|
two-and-a-half to three years, Mr Shapiro said.
|
|
|
|
Mr Strauss-Kahn has been charged with a series of sex crimes relating to the
|
|
alleged attack. He has been denied bail and is being held at New York's Rikers
|
|
Island jail before his next court hearing.
|
|
|
|
He denies all charges.
