Overview
- The accuser told The Guardian she was an unpaid intern in 2009 and describes repeated unwanted advances and touching, including invitations to work at Khan’s home.
- Her description closely aligns with allegations from a current ICC staff lawyer who says incidents occurred between 2023 and 2024.
- Khan’s legal team calls the accusations entirely false and says he has submitted evidence they argue contradicts key claims.
- The UN Office of Internal Oversight Services is assessing both complaints, and a finding of serious misconduct could lead to a secret vote by ICC member states on his removal.
- Khan has stepped aside from his duties since May during the inquiry and has alleged a hostile campaign against him, a claim for which reporting presents no evidence involving the women.
