US EditionSecond woman reportedly accuses ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan of sexual misconduct
- ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan, a British jurist since 2021, faces new sexual misconduct allegations involving a former intern from 2009.
- These claims surfaced amid Khan's issuance of arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, which critics say were a distraction from the allegations.
- Patricia, the accuser, detailed repeated unwanted sexual advances and pressure from Khan during her internship, and later testified formally before the UN inquiry.
- Khan categorically denies all allegations, calling them 'wholly untrue' and has suspended himself pending investigation by the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services.
- The inquiry could lead to Khan's removal by ICC member states if serious breaches of conduct are confirmed, deepening his legal and political challenges.
