The International Criminal Court’s own internal oversight body has just exposed its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, as a sexual harasser who abused his power over a junior female subordinate.
A 21-member bureau investigating the allegations concluded that Khan engaged in sexual activity with the junior staffer, constituting sexual harassment, and abused his authority in the process.
He pressured her into sex amid a blatant power imbalance. Khan later tried to dissuade her from pursuing misconduct claims against him.
UN investigators laid out the disgusting details: “He would grab and paw at her breasts, try to access her pelvic area, and suck on her neck,” i24 News reported.
Khan never clearly denied the sexual relationship despite being given 30 opportunities to do so during the UN probe. His main concern at the time? Whether the woman might have made recordings implicating him.
Only after it became clear no recordings existed did he offer denials, which the report slammed as “devoid of credibility.” At least two-thirds of the bureau members found his credibility utterly lacking.
