The credibility of the woman who accused former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexually assaulting him has come into question, a source familiar with the case said on Thursday.

The New York Times reported on Thursday that the case against Strauss-Kahn was near collapse as prosecutors did not believe much of the woman's story.
