All civil litigation between Dominique Strauss-Kahn and the hotel maid who claimed that he sexually assaulted her has been settled in principle but no paperwork has been signed yet, according to a source familiar with the case.
The parties are expected to be in court next week in the Bronx to finalize the settlements.
The civil case emerged from the hotel room encounter that spurred now-dismissed criminal charges against Strauss-Kahn, the former International Monetary Fund chief who was a likely contender to be the next president of France before the scandal exploded.
The housekeeper, Nafissatou Diallo, said Strauss-Kahn tried to rape her when she arrived to clean his Manhattan hotel suite. Strauss-Kahn denied doing anything violent during the encounter.
Lawyers for both sides are not commenting at this time.
See a timeline of the case here.
Prosecutors dropped related criminal charges in the summer of 2011, saying they had developed doubts about Diallo's trustworthiness because she had lied about her background and her actions right after the alleged attack.

and....
so basically you took the time to write and publish an article to tell us absolutely nothing ......i want my two minutes back.
LOL, my thoughts too.
It would seem that the AIPAC lobby wasn't as successful defending this sexual predator as they thought they were. Karma will always be there to level the playing field.
And the "innocent" is paying her off. Hmmmm.
Money always buys a little bit of innocence!
Seems like the rapist is shelling out 6 million dollars to shut Ms. Diallo up. That's does not sound like an innocent man to me. Then there's the case in France.His wife must be the dumbest woman in France to stay with this cheat and rapist. She's the one with all of the money anyway.
If this POS holier than thou 3%er was so innocent as he sez why would he settle... obviously he got away with it because of the wealth he has.
Diallo should be deported as she lied to come to the US. DSK is a scumbag but she was recorded calling her boyfriend who was in prison about her new fortune. Where did she get all that money in her bank account in the first place?
