Lawyers for the four prostitutes who participated in sex parties organised for Dominique Strauss-Kahn said on Monday they were giving up their claim of damages, saying it would be too hard to prove the pimping charge against the former IMF head.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn was handed preliminary charges on Monday alleging he was involved in a hotel prostitution ring in France, a stunning blow on the home front for the former International Monetary Fund (IMF) Chief.
