Khan’s accuser, named only as Sarah, recently told CNN that Khan had shown escalating behaviour of touching and groping her, recounting a time she said he touched her intimately while she was pretending to be asleep.
Khan has denied any wrongdoing and his lawyers have called the process that led to the vote procedurally unfair and unsupported by evidence.
Khan was leading probes into multiple conflicts, but his decision in 2024 to seek arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant over war crime charges in Gaza prompted an intense backlash from governments and advocacy groups.
Former European Union chief diplomat Josep Borrell wrote in an editorial that the case against Khan is “obviously part of a larger offensive against the ICC”.
Yeah let’s call it rape if someone doesn’t even say no when you try something and stop when they don’t react… Lemmy is such a reasonable place, so much real life experience…
There’s a different definition of rape depending on the country you are from.
If you are from the US (on a federal level) the legal term based on the description in the article seems to be sexual assault.
No idea where you get the additional details from on which you seem to base your opinion of this case. Maybe I‘ve missed them in the article. But if you have additional sources, please let me know.
