"She is going to come into this courthouse, get on that witness stand and tell the world what Dominique Strauss did to her," said Thompson.
While Strauss-Kahn's lawyer suggests any sex was consensual , Thompson calls that nothing more than a smear campaign.
Strauss-Kahn pleaded not guilty Monday in a strong voice, standing between his defense team Ben Brafman and William W. Taylor, as his wife, journalist Anne Sinclair, watched. He already had said he's innocent.
