Jeffrey Shapiro: Sofitel Hotel

York Authorities Dept: Meanwhile, his accuser is effectively in hiding as New York authorities shield her from the glare of global press attention and any attempts to pressure her to change her story, according to Globe And Mail. For the past three years, she has worked at the Sofitel Hotel, where some accounts say she was an exemplary employee. She alleges that on Saturday, Mr. Strauss-Kahn prevented her from leaving the suite, attempted to rape her and forced her to perform oral sex before she managed to flee and the woman’s explosive allegations against Dominique Strauss-Kahn – that the 62-year-old emerged naked and sexually assaulted her – have set off a media maelstrom. The scrutiny of her life and past has only begun. A native of the West African nation of Guinea, she sought asylum in the United States seven years ago, according to interviews given by her lawyer, Jeffrey Shapiro. As reported in the news.
