Former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn filed a counterclaim in the lawsuit brought by a Manhattan hotel maid who accused him of sexually assaulting her.

Strauss-Kahn alleged in the court filing in New York state Supreme Court in the Bronx that the maid, Nafissatou Diallo, knowingly made a “malicious and wanton” false accusation, according to copies of the filing provided by his lawyers. The documents couldn’t be immediately confirmed with the court.
