Will former Israeli President Moshe Katsav be convicted of Rape or any other Crime?

Suspended

Suspend date reached

Background:

Background: Moshe Katsav, the former president of Israel, will be charged with rape and other sexual misconduct offences, the country's attorney-general says.

Katsav stepped down shortly before his seven-year term was due to end in 2007 after four female employees accused him of crimes including rape, sexual assault and sexual harassment.

"Following the completion of the investigation ... the attorney general and the state prosecutor decided to indict Mr Moshe Katsav over sexual offences against several of his employees when he acted as tourism minister and president, including charges of rape and sexual assault," the justice minister said in a statement on Sunday.

The statement did not say when the formal indictment would be filed, but local media reports said it would be within days.

Katsav, the eighth president of Israel, resigned in July 2007 as part of a plea agreement which granted him immunity from the rape charge and a possible 20 year jail sentence, but required him to plead guilty to sexual harrassment.

However, Katsav later reneged on the deal.

Should Katsav plead get a plea deal, whatever option he pleads to will qualify for settlement.

Settlement date is NOT fixed.

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source.
