Nafissatou Diallo, the woman allegedly raped by DSK, gives her first interview:
“Because of him they call me a prostitute,” she said. “I want him to go to jail. I want him to know there are some places you cannot use your power, you cannot use your money.”
Amy Davidson speculates why Diallo would tell her story now:
Diallo, as Strauss-Kahn’s team is always ready to point out, has a lawyer, but she also, according to Newsweek, cannot read or write in any language. But she can narrate her story, and she can show her face. To the extent that privacy means having any control over both the intimate details of one’s life, or any power to define the way one is put on display—what people call you—Diallo may have reached the point where exposure seemed like a way to gain more privacy, and not less.
