The Manhattan District Attorney's office is going to request the dismissal of all charges against Dominique Strauss-Kahn when the former International Monetary Fund head appears in court on Tuesday.

The D.A. will be filing a Dismissal On Recommendation, reports The New York Post.  The filing states his office has no way to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.  Such filings are rare but always granted by the presiding judge, experts say.

Strauss-Kahn, who was also touted as a candidate for the next president of France, was accused of sexual assault by a Manhattan hotel maid last May.

Strauss-Kahn always maintained his innocence, but inconsistencies in the story of the accuser Nafissatou Diallo made it a difficult case to prosecute.
