Did the Strauss-Kahn case hurt New York's reputation?

Because the man is well-known and influential the media went nuts, as usual, and it seems that they didn't ivestigate the accuser closely enough. The guy could probably file a lawsuit for defamation, but even if there was no criminal action SOMETHING went on, so he may want to forget it. His career was pretty much ruined, though. As for hurting New York, I don't know. Do you think the Casey Anthony circus is hurting Florida?
