By Noeleen Walder, NEW YORK / http://www.reuters.com / Tue Jul 26, 2011 12:58pm EDT.

(Reuters) - After more than two months in seclusion and anonymity, the hotel maid who accused Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexually assaulting her is telling her story and hoping for success in the court of public opinion.

But legal experts say talking to the media at this point is a risky tactic that could weaken the prosecution's case against Strauss-Kahn and reduce the woman's chances of winning a civil suit, which her lawyers said she intends to file shortly.

"I think the decision to come forward is a desperate gambit to try to put pressure on the prosecution to consider not dropping the case," said Alan Dershowitz, a well-known criminal-defense attorney.

Dershowitz said that while this move could ultimately succeed, "it's a high-risk tactic, obviously devised by her lawyer, who may see a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow."

Originally cast as a victim with a steadfast story, Nafissatou Diallo's credibility was called into serious doubt after prosecutors alleged she lied on her asylum application and gave varying accounts of her actions after the May 14 encounter at the Sofitel hotel in Manhattan.

Kenneth Thompson, one of Diallo's attorneys, insists the purpose of the media offensive is to counter her negative and inaccurate portrayal in the media.

"Ms. Diallo came forward to clear her name," he said. "She is not a prostitute or a hooker or a con artist trying to shake down DSK. ... She is the victim of a brutal sexual assault."

RISKS OF SPEAKING OUT

In an interview with Newsweek -- part of a well-orchestrated media blitz one week before Strauss-Kahn's next court date -- Diallo, 32, said of Strauss-Kahn: "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."

July 25, 2011 / AFP, Oslo / DC.

Two armoured police vehicles, one of which is believed to carry Anders Behring Breivik, bring the 32-year-old Norwegian suspect to an Oslo courthouse - AFP.

The 32-year-old Norwegian suspected of killing as many as 93 people in a bombing and shooting rampage arrived on Monday in a closed Oslo courtroom for his first remand hearing, state media reported.

News agency NTB said Anders Behring Breivik was to face arraignment, with judge Kim Heger to decide on the prosecutor's call for him to be placed in detention for eight weeks as the investigation proceeds.

That is double the normal, renewable period.

NTB said the vehicle bringing Behring Breivik into the courthouse arrived through a back entrance, leading to the basement of the building.

People waiting to catch a glimpse of him cried 'traitor' and 'bloody killer', the agency said.

Behring Breivik's lawyer, Geir Lippestad, came in through the main entrance, having to force a passage through hundreds of journalists waiting since early morning.

Police have said a trial could be a year away. The maximum jail term in Norway is 21 years, although that can be extended if there is a risk of repeat offences.

"In theory he can be in jail for the rest of his life," said Staale Eskeland, professor of criminal law at the University of Oslo.

Craving for publicity

Breivik, a self-confessed mass killer, has said through his lawyer that he wants to explain his motives at the hearing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Saving Europe

The worst peacetime massacre in Norway's modern history was driven by Breivik's self-imposed mission to save Europe from perceived threats of Islam, immigration and multi-culturalism.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Scheming to resist'

Breivik was once a member of the party, but left complaining it was too politically correct. It was then he began scheming to 'resist', burying ammunition more than a year ago, weight-lifting, storing up credit cards and researching bomb-making while playing online war games.
