The sexual assault charges against Dominique Strauss-Kahn are very possible to fail in court, it was reported on Friday morning.

The report is apparently vindicating supporters of the former head of the International Monetary Fund, the New York Times points out.

The "major holes" in the case are expected to be admitted to a federal criminal court in Manhattan as early as Friday.

Strauss-Kahn is charged with seven counts including four felony charges - two of criminal sexual acts, one of attempted rape and one of sexual abuse - plus three misdemeanor offences, including unlawful imprisonment.

Should the charges against Strauss-Cahn drop, he may end up returning to French politics and even receive a Minister seat, one of his vocal supporters has hinted. "He could still play a major role in France, without being candidate. This would give an extra chance for victory," Jack Lang, a former Socialist Culture Minister, has told the New York Times.
