Former Israeli President Moshe Katsav offers a blunt defense of himself in the face of convictions on charges of sexual harassment, rape, and indecent acts. He was sentenced to 7 years in jail. His lawyer says that this was more about Katsav innocently “hugging” his employees than anything else. “We live in an age of huggers and hugging,” said his attorney, Zion Amir. “Katsav’s image has been blackened and mauled. Every innocent hug has become a violation – the court has erred.”
How about a hug?
Abuse of power by the political class happens everywhere. And the excuses and explanations get more creative each day.
