Karim Khan, lead prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), has temporarily stepped down following allegations of sexual misconduct involving a junior staff member. The allegations, which detail incidents ranging from inappropriate touching to forced intercourse during various missions and at his residence, have prompted an investigation by the UN's Office of Internal Oversight Services. Khan's legal counsel denies the accusations, labeling them as "categorically untrue," as the case unfolds in the media and expectations grow for the forthcoming investigative report.
Khan has been accused of forcing himself on a female assistant, leading to a temporary suspension during an ongoing investigation into sexual misconduct allegations.
The sexual misconduct investigations have highlighted a pattern of inappropriate behavior by Khan, raising serious concerns about his conduct as the ICC's chief prosecutor.
