Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), is facing allegations of sexual misconduct. The accusations involve Khan allegedly groping and attempting to coerce a subordinate into sex. Additionally, it is claimed that Khan and another official tried to persuade the alleged victim to deny her claims. These allegations have surfaced while Khan is involved in seeking war crimes charges against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The situation has led to the replacement of an ICC judge weighing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, likely delaying the decision. The International Court Prosecutor also allegedly tried to suppress the claims against him.
