Former Israeli President Indicted for Rape

http://web.blogads.com/advertise/liberal_blog_advertising_network

Former Israeli president Moshe Katsav is being indicted for rape and (from what I read) sexual harassment.

And of course: obstruction of justice.

*puts on political scientist's hat* Note that the term president can be somewhat confusing: the highest political figure (comparable to a US president) is the prime minister. The president is a somewhat ceremonial head of state.

But it's still great they're actually prosecuting him!
