Israeli president Katsav cops a plea and is saved from rape charges

The Israeli State prosecutor Attorney-General Menahem Mazuz agreed a sordid plea bargain with President Moshe Katsav who is leaving his office with his trousers round his ankles to join a long list of Israeli State servants who can't keep their dick in their trousers.

OK says the state , there was no rape but you cop a plea for "committing an indecent act".

No prison. No community service.

Compensation payment to the lady "A" (only one of 10 complainants) who he "committed the non consensual indecent act" with and a suspended sentence.







President elect , Shimon Peres, will be sworn in on July 15.

'A' told reporters that while working in the president's residence she underwent increasing sexual harassment from Katsav, culminating in rape.

She said that before the rape, Katsav would ask her to come to work wearing a skirt with no underwear underneath, exposed himself to her, and touched her breasts.

Still in denial and expostulating his innocence he instructed Avigdor Feldman, one of his attorneys, to go on Israel Radio and insist that "A" was lying, and insisted his client was innocent of her charges.
