Who would have thought?

Israeli president lies low after rape claim

The Israeli president, Moshe Katsav, yesterday cancelled an appearance at the opening session of parliament as he faced mounting pressure over a police recommendation that he be charged with rape.

But Mr Katsav, 60, gave no suggestion that he intended to resign his post, despite the wave of criticism he faces.

Police on Sunday said that after months of investigations they had enough evidence to call for the president to be charged with rape and sexual assault as well as fraud, illegal wiretapping, bribery and obstruction of justice. Five women from his office have provided evidence against him, saying in some cases he forced them to have sex. A further five women made complaints of sexual harassment dating back several years.

Thats INSANE.
