ICC Chief Prosecutor Takes Temporary Leave Amid Sexual Misconduct Probe

Amid an ongoing investigation into alleged sexual misconduct, Karim Khan, the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), has decided to step back temporarily.

A statement is expected later today announcing Khan's administrative leave, according to a source within the prosecutor's office.

Reports surfaced last week, including a piece from The Wall Street Journal, alleging that Khan coerced sexual intercourse with a staff member, raising questions about the impact of these accusations on his recent decisions.
