Former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn has reached an out-of-court settlement with the New York hotel maid who accused him of sexually assaulting her in May 2011. The claim by Nafissatou Diallo, an immigrant from Guinea, forced Strass-Kahn to resign from the IMF and dashed his hopes of running for the presidency in his native France. After Monday’s hearing confirming the settlement, Diallo thanked supporters along with her attorney.

Nafissatou Diallo: “I just want to say I thank everyone who supported me, all over the world. I thank everybody. I thank God, and God bless you all. Thank you very much.”

Kenneth Thompson: “Ms. Diallo is a strong and courageous woman who never lost faith in our system of justice. With this resolution, she can now move on with her life. And we thank everyone for their support and prayers.”
