'NY Times': Strauss-Kahn to settle civil suit with maid

NEW YORK - Former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn will settle the civil lawsuit brought by the hotel maid who accused him of sexually assaulting her last year, the New York Times reported on Thursday, citing people with knowledge of the matter.
Lawyers for Strauss-Kahn and Nafissatou Diallo will appear before a judge in New York next week, the Times reported, though the newspaper said one person familiar with the details emphasized that a final agreement has not yet been signed. The amount of money involved in the settlement could not be determined, the Times said.
Lawyers for both sides did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
