THE HAGUE — The International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor has stepped aside pending the conclusion of a probe into a misconduct alle-gation against him, his office said Friday, as media reports cite accusations of sexual misconduct. News of Karim Khan's leave has plunged the ICC , already under fire from critics and targeted by US sanctions aimed at the prosecutor, into further uncertainty.
The Wall Street Journal reported that an assistant, a woman in her 30s, told UN officials that Khan touched her in a sexual manner in Decem-ber 2023. She alleged the touching escalated into him forcing her to have sexual intercourse, according to the testimony cited by the newspaper. After allegations of misconduct became public, Khan said in October he would cooperate with any probe and denied wrongdoing.
