The woman who has accused Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former head of the International Monetary Fund, of sexual assault in a Manhattan hotel room has granted her first interviews to Newsweek and ABC News, which will begin broadcasting segments of the interview Monday morning on its “Good Morning America” program.

ABC reported that there were no restrictions on the interview, which the network plans to use portions of on all its major programs, starting with “GMA” Monday morning and continuing on “World News,” its evening newscast, and “Nightline,” its late-night news program.
