The AP has this:

"But according to the law enforcement official, prosecutors now
believe Strauss-Kahn's accuser lied about various details on her
application for asylum in the U.S., including saying she had been
raped in her native Guinea — a claim she repeated and then recanted
during the investigation, the official said.

"She actually recounted the entire story to prosecutors and later said
it was false," the official said.

Prosecutors also believe some of her account of her activities in the
hours surrounding the alleged attack wasn't true, though they haven't
necessarily reached a new conclusion about the incident itself, the
official said."
