I think he was set up but not by political rivals or a tabloid creating a story. I think the woman was setting him up for financial gain. There are unconfirmed (at this point) reports that the woman was recorded in a conversation with her boyfriend who is in federal custody for immigration violations wherein she tells him that she has a plan with DSK and that he is very rich and she knows what she is doing.

She is not a victim, she is a liar and a cheat. She has also done damage to future victims in that their credibility will be questioned becaue of examples of false allegations by people like this woman.
