Strauss-Kahn Rape or Set-up

The case seemed to be clear. Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the successful and powerful official tried to rape a poor chamber maid and to escape the US straight after. Thankfully he got caught a the border and would now be prosecuted. However,  this does not seem to be such a straight forward case after all. The chamber maid has a very colourful past and seems to be a criminal herself. She even tried to discuss money issues just a couple of hours after she went through the ordeal. So, who is right here - the people who think most rape cases are set ups and especially famous men are the victims of woman who accuse them of a terrible crime - or is it the people who are convinced he raped the woman and probably many more, but will get away with it because he is rich and powerful. How many rape cases are actually set up by silly woman and how many are real rapes which do not even get as far as being looked at in court, because there is no real proof. I personnally think there are a lot more real rape cases not being reported or thrown out at court - but because of a few stupid incidents of false claims it looks different.
