Here's a lot more about the story, and Oy!, is it slimy:
Playing Dirty Pool at the International Criminal Courthttps://hotair.com/john-s-2/2026/05/01/playing-dirty-pool-at-the-international-criminal-court-n3814498The central figure in this story is Karim Khan a British lawyer who works for the ICC. Khan is best known for two things: First, he's the lawyer who issued arrest warrants on behalf of the ICC for Israeli leaders including Benjamin Netanyahu. So, for instance, when Zohran Mamdani suggests he'll arrest Netanyahu in keeping with international law, he's referring to Karim Khan's work.
...
Khan, a hard-charging British lawyer, was in New York in early December 2023 for the court’s governing body meeting at United Nations headquarters. Stung by the criticism (that he was a “genocide enabler” for not indicting Netayahu, et al), the 55-year-old prosecutor was increasingly lashing out at his team, according to ICC officials.
One assistant, a woman in her 30s who often traveled with him for her job, asked to meet with Khan to urge him to ease up. He called her that evening to his corner suite high in the Millennium Hilton hotel next to the U.N.
There, she said in testimony to U.N. officials, Khan began to touch her sexually, a pattern of behavior that she said had been going on for months.
She said she attempted to leave the room several times, but he took her hand and eventually pulled her to the bed. Then he pulled off her pants and forced sexual intercourse, according to the testimony.
This story (allegedly) played out multiple times with the woman, who is married, trying to leave and Khan, who is also married, dragging her toward his bedroom in locations around the globe. Khan would eventually deny all of this.
The lawyer, who was from Malaysia, claims she didn't quit the job for multiple reasons, including needing the money to pay for her mother's medical care, fearing retaliation from Khan and being invested in the work he did at the ICC. In particular, she was eager to see Israel targeted by the ICC.
...
As the abuse allegations were swirling among ICC staff and others, Khan allegedly tried to get his accuser to disavow them by telling her the charges would hurt the Palestinian investigation, according to her testimony.
The casualties of the allegations would include “the justice of the victims that are on the cusp of progress,” he said to her, according to a record of a call that is now part of an independent U.N. investigation into her allegations. “Think about the Palestinian arrest warrants,” she said he told her on another occasion, according to the testimony.
...
And that's really just the beginning of this story. Last November we learned from news reports that Qatar funded an intelligence operation against Khan's accuser. The goal of the operation was to find some connection between her and Israel which could then be used to undermine her credibility.
...
You can see how this was going to shape up. They would find the woman had visited Israel or had a friend in Israel or something and then use that to insinuate her claims of abuse were part of a Mossad plot. Only there wasn't any plot and the lawyer making the allegations was on Khan's side when it came to the arrest warrants.
Which brings us to this week when the Wall Street Journal did a follow up about the intelligence operation against the accuser.
The new witness statement is by a person familiar with that operation who requests anonymity. We’ve reviewed it along with supporting audio recordings. The statement was submitted to the FBI to request an inquiry and is known to several Members of Congress. It suggests the private intelligence operation also sought to target two Americans: Tom Lynch, the senior ICC official who first reported the assault allegation, and Sen. Lindsey Graham.
But the bigger reveal is that people who were part of the private intel operation knew Khan was being supported by Qatar, i.e. the people funding the operation.
...
The U.N. investigators also note that another woman who worked as an unpaid intern for Khan in 2009 when he was a defense attorney came forward to speak to them about “adverse experiences of a sexual nature” with Khan, according to the summary.
Evidently, at the UN, if a sexual assault perp is of the right Oppressed Class and a Joooo-Hater, it takes a lot to put salt on his ... . Even if he raped a Joooo-Hater multiple times.
I won't say the Joooo-Hater female deserved to be raped, but the rapist needs consequences and she is not a sympathetic figure to me beyond that.
