Love Or Lust? [  2 May 2007 ]
QUOTE
According to Channel 2, during the initial investigation into the allegations of rape against Katsav, police asked Aleph why her account of the crime should be believed. She told police that they could validate her claims by speaking to her friends in New York, whom she claimed knew the truth about her rape. However, when the police questioned her friends they said, "If she had been raped by Katsav she definitely would have told us," Channel 2 reported. According to Aleph's friends, Aleph had a "romantic affair" with Katsav and was "obsessed" with him.

President's Residence employee A., the first woman to accuse outgoing president Moshe Katsav of rape almost a year ago, described Thursday her version of the alleged sexual assault perpetrated by the president against her, saying he had turned her into a sex slave. Earlier Thursday, Katsav signed a plea agreement under which the rape charges against him will be dropped and he will serve no active jail time.....

Israeli Presidential Rape Stories Are Credible Say Psychologists [ 27 October 2007 ]
QUOTE
Psychology experts say the attorney general erred in his interpretation of the testimonies of women who said former president Moshe Katsav raped them, according to a document presented to the High Court of Justice on Sunday. An opinion by Dr. Zvia Zeligman, a specialist in psychological trauma caused by sexual abuse, states that if Attorney General Menachem Mazuz had been sensitive to the women's psychological state, he would not have erred in interpreting contradictions in the testimonies as posing "evidentiary obstacles" in the case.

Zeligman says the internal contradictions in the testimonies reinforce their authenticity and are sufficient to indict Katsav for rape...........

Israel's President Beats The Rape Raps - No Prison Time  [  26 February 2008 ]
The High Court of Justice on Tuesday approved the plea bargain signed with former president Moshe Katsav over alleged sex crimes..... The petitions were filed in response to Mazuz's decision in June 2007 to sign a plea bargain with Katsav that eliminated the two counts of rape that had appeared in the draft indictment. It also eliminated several other charges that had appeared in the draft indictment, including two counts of forcible indecent assault, and one of sexual intercourse while exploiting an employer-employee relationship.

The plea bargain includes only minor sexual offences - one count of indecent assault involving pressure and one of sexual harassment - and would give Katsav a suspended sentence rather than actual jail time.

Israeli President May Go To jail And Lose $300,000 A Year  [ 28 February 2008 ]
QUOTE
Former president Moshe Katsav, whose indictment is due to be filed on Thursday in the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court, stands to lose an annual income estimated at NIS 1.1 million and could even go to jail if the judge so rules.................

The state prosecution has already made clear that it would ask the court to determine in its verdict that the crimes to which Katsav pleaded guilty involved moral turpitude. Should the court accede, Katsav would lose an estimated NIS 1.1m. per year in "extra payments" that he would otherwise receive as a former president. The "extra payments" include the costs of his home in Kiryat Malachi, an office and secretaries, and a car and chauffeur.

Israeli President Raped her. Israeli President Walks Away Laughing [ 25 March 2008 ]
QUOTE
A special bench of three Jerusalem Magistrate's Court judges is slated to deliberate on Wednesday the indictment entitled "The State of Israel versus Moshe Katsav." The facts described in it do not necessarily reflect reality. They are part of the plea bargain agreed upon by the state and the former president's attorneys, after a lengthy hearing...........

This law recognizes the right of an injured party in a sexual crime to deposit in the hands of the prosecution a "victim's statement" that details the damage that has been caused to him or her, including psychological damage. The prosecution is required to bring this statement [ unaltered? - Editor ] before the court that is passing sentence on the accused..........

The Katsav case is one case among many. The ruling on it will set milestones with respect to the limits of what is permitted and what is forbidden in plea bargains, which are sometimes "a necessary evil" and sometimes tantamount to an indecent act toward the public as a whole, and not only toward the victims of the criminal offences themselves.

Jews Cheer Their President's Rape Trial  [  9 April 2008 ]
QUOTE
Protesters jeer Katsav, cheer the chance to take him to court A chorus of boos greeted former president Moshe Katsav on Tuesday as he entered a Jerusalem courthouse, where dozens of demonstrators voiced their disapproval of the plea bargain struck with the State Prosecutor's Office last June. Women from the Israel Women's Network and other organizations that work to combat sexual violence against women wore shirts bearing the words, "We are all A.," referring to the initial by which several of Katsav's accusers are known.

Their boos quickly turned to cheers as news of the rejection of the plea bargain made its way from the courtroom to outside the courthouse. "Katsav, Katsav, to prison now!," demonstrators chanted as the former president left the courtroom. He is facing a string of complaints for sexual assault. Women's organizations welcomed Katsav's decision to waive the plea bargain and demanded a harsh indictment reflected in the original charge sheet prepared by the state.

Israel's President Liable To Be Charged With Rape  [  9 April 2008 ]
QUOTE
Prosecution: Katsav may be charged with rape Officials in the State Prosecutor's Office say that a new indictment containing more serious charges - possibly including rape - will be filed against former president Moshe Katsav either before Pesach or immediately after the holiday, following Katsav's dramatic decision Tuesday to cancel the plea bargain that had downgraded the original rape charges against him to lesser sexual offences and no jail time. Katsav said he intends to face the charges in court and will fight to clear his name. The trial will be the first for an Israeli head of state, past or present.
"Presumably the ramifications of this move are clear to Katsav," Attorney General Menachem Mazuz said in a brief statement a few hours after Katsav's lawyers informed him of their client's decision.

They cited the fact that she has received psychotherapy and/or psychiatric care in recent years...........  Katsav's lawyers also want an investigation into an allegedly false sexual harassment complaint that A. filed against a resident of the moshav where she lived.

In addition, they want an inquiry into the circumstances of A.'s dismissal from various civil service jobs,...............  In addition, they would like to see the results of an investigation into arson at a house A. was renting on a moshav. The lawyers claim that A. left the moshav suddenly and that the house was set on fire the night she left.

President Of Israel Might Be Sued For Raping Two Women  [ 19 June 2008 ]

Katsav could face civil suits over sexual assault charges Two of the women allegedly molested by former president Moshe Katsav are considering filing civil suits against him in parallel to the criminal proceedings.  The first woman, A., worked under Katsav  [ So he worked over her - Editor ] when he was tourism minister [ touring where? ], and she is the focus of the amended indictment that will soon be submitted against Katsav. She recently met with attorney Boaz Arad to discuss the chances of a civil suit against Katsav.........

The second woman, also known as A., worked under Katsav at the President's Residence. Thus far, her complaints have not been included in the indictment against Katsav, because the prosecution believes the evidence is insufficient.

Israel's President Still Trying To Beat The Rape Rap [ 5 October 2008 ]
QUOTE
A, the primary complainant in a sexual harassment case against former president Moshe Katsav, testified again Monday after Katsav's lawyer provided police with a tape allegedly bearing new evidence. After analyzing the tape and the complainant's new testimony, police remain unswayed: A's story is reliable. Police sources indicated that they will recommend a count of rape to be added to the charges against Katsav. In early August, Katsav reneged on a plea bargain with the State Prosecutor's Office. In the plea bargain, the former president was to plead guilty to lesser sexual offences only. His decision to back out of the deal left him open to an indictment on all related criminal charges, including rape. The contents of the tape were not released, but were meant to undermine the testimony of A, who worked with Katsav when he was tourism minister. This new evidence, along with A's additional testimony, will be passed along to Ronit Amiel, the lawyer overseeing Katsav's case at the Jerusalem District Prosecutor's Office.  Amiel has replaced  Irit Baumhorn, the state lawyer originally in charge of the case and the person who insisted on including A's complaints in the suit against Katsav.

Israeli President Is A Rapist Say Police [ 20 December 2008 ]
QUOTE
Police sources told Ynet following the confrontation that they were sticking to their previous recommendation that there was sufficient evidence to file a severe indictment against the former president and charge him with rape. A. is the person responsible for the police's most severe suspicion against Katsav � rape. This clause was excluded from the plea bargain signed between the former president and the State, which Katsav eventually reneged on and which accused him of committing an indecent act against her....... The renewed investigation is expected to last a few weeks, at which time prosecutor Ronit Amiel will submit her recommendation to State Prosecutor Moshe Lador and Attorney General Menachem Mazuz, who will then decide whether or not to indict Katsav.

President Of Israel To Be Charged With Multiple Rape [ 9 March 2009 ]
QUOTE
Former president Moshe Katsav will be charged with several serious sexual offences, including rape, Attorney General Menachem Mazuz announced Sunday. The decision ushers in a new phase of a legal drama that has dragged on for almost three years. The indictment charges Katsav with two counts of raping A., who worked at the Tourism Ministry from March 1998 to January 1999, when Katsav was tourism minister......... Katsav will also be charged with forcible indecent assault against A. and abusing the employer-employee relationship............ In L.'s case, Katsav will also be charged with obstruction of justice, because when the investigation began, Katsav asked L. for details of her police interrogation and even tried to influence her statement.

Sources close to Moshe Katsav promised Wednesday that the former president will cast new light on the legal proceedings against him during a press conference on Thursday evening, hinting that he would blast the Justice Ministry and deliver new revelations about the women who are likely to testify against him..... Attorney-General Menahem Mazuz would only enjoy public support until people learned how the Justice Ministry had handled the case, Tzur said.

Meanwhile, Channel 2 broadcast audiotapes Wednesday night in which they said the lead complainant against Katsav, "Tourism Ministry Aleph," was heard calling the former president after he allegedly raped her and berating him for not hiring her to work at Beit Hanassi after he was elected president in 2000.

Katsav is reportedly drafting his remarks mostly by himself, and members of his inner circle have hinted that the press conference will be every bit as newsworthy as his press conference at Beit Hanassi in January 2007, at which he announced that he would take a leave of absence from the presidency.

Israeli President Claims That He Didn't Rape Her [ 13 March 2009 ]
QUOTE
Moshe Katsav lashed out at the law enforcement agencies Thursday, in his first response to Attorney General Menachem Mazuz's announcement on Sunday that he plans to charge the former president with serious sexual offences, including rape. The speech covered numerous targets: the attorney general, the State Prosecutor's Office, the police, the women who filed the complaints against him, and the media. In particular, however, he assailed Mazuz's integrity and presented himself as a victim of the law enforcement agencies. I and my family are bleeding and crushed from those same intrigues that brought about my conviction in the eyes of public," he said. "I haven't committed suicide and I haven't broken, but my noose is Mazuz's lifeline."

Katsav spoke for more than two and a half hours to an almost empty hall in his hometown of Kiryat Malakhi, then infuriated the exhausted journalists by refusing to take questions. He said his legal advisors had forbidden him to do so, "so as not to become embroiled in the offence of obstructing justice." Under cover of the ensuing uproar, he and his wife, Gila, then slipped out of the hall.

Moshe Katsav's media advisors resigned on Thursday following a press conference given by the former president in which he launched a diatribe against Israel's law enforcement authorities.  Ronen Tzur and Motti Morell, the advisors, had recommended that the conference only last for half an hour, while it actually went on for almost three hours. "Following essential differences of approach toward the running of the press conference, we announced tonight to Mr Katsav that we cannot continue to contribute on a professional level. We believe in his complete innocence and wish him a full acquittal, which is what we believe he deserves," the pair said in a statement............. The Justice Ministry said, "Katsav's speech was riddled with false accusations and distorted facts as part of an uncontrolled personal slander campaign against the attorney general and law enforcement heads."

Israel's President And His Rape Speech - A Monologue Or Stand Up Comedy?  [ 13 March 2009 ]
QUOTE
Until the very last moment it was unclear whether it was going to be a monologue or a stand-up performance involving audience participation. The performance was scheduled to take place far from the madding crowd, on the home ground of Kiryat Malakhi, but the news channels cameras were there to make it accessible to all.

The curtain was down, but not on the stage. From behind it, from the right side of the small auditorium, attended by press and the home crowd, emerged Moshe Katsav, led his wife to her place in the first row, kissed the usherette on her cheek, and took his place on the podium, centre stage, behind a lectern flanked by two Israeli flags.

He opened in a sombre tone, looking at the audience and the cameras in the eye: "Here I stand," he said, "a former President of Israel, proud but humbled, broken, in pain, vanquished."  Then, with his right hand he adorned his nose with reading glasses and went on, much quicker, reading from his notes. That was not the way he had wanted to end his term in office...............

"Gila and I live in the same house for the last 40 years," his voice thickened and he took a sip of water. "Was I ever given preferential treatment by the press?" he asked accusingly. His monologue was composed of strategically-placed words, and expressed to give the audience an idea what he has been going through: A nuclear bomb, lynch, obsessive pursuit, Dreyfus, Rabin's murder, snowball, tsunami, SIT (the police's special investigative unit, which was investigating rumours about him, and not his complaint about extortion), SIT, SIT.

He agreed to the plea bargain because he wanted the Attorney General to have his "pound of flesh," and in the plea he admitted to nothing unsavoury - possibly a peck on the cheek here, or touching a leg there. Nothing to write an indictment about. And the anonymous women - none of them ever complained, he repeated again and again - they hired PR people, and those were financed by Meretz and Hadash..............

It would have gone on and on, but after about an hour Katsav started to point his finger in accusation at some of the journalists present. When they tried to answer - or ask - they were sent out from the field of play by the local authoritative ushers-cum-security team.

It looked like Katsav was over-identifying with the part he was playing. He harangued the audience with words, claims, accusations and rhetorical questions, and did not notice that he was loosing his audience. After the journalists were sent out, the news channels terminated their live broadcast. I believe the show went on, but I could not have witnessed it anymore, and therefore am not able to tell you how - and if - it ever ended.

Israeli President Gets Secret Rape Trial [ 23 February 2010 ]
QUOTE
Former president Moshe Katsav began testifying this week in Tel Aviv District Court in his rape case. The trial is closed to the public but the start of his testimony reminded people that it is taking place and that it has entered the defence phase. The allegations against Katsav have been served up in the media for more than three years through television "testimony" from several [ several as in lots  ] of his accusers, interviews by Attorney General Menachem Mazuz and a press conference in which Katsav lambasted the media in general and Channel 2 television in particular. The plea bargain and Katsav's subsequent rejection of the deal received wide coverage, including interviews with the former president.

Katsav's trial for two counts of rape plus other sexual offences reflects accusations from three women who had been in his employ as tourism minister and later as president. The trial, which began about three months ago, had seemingly disappeared from the public agenda.

Israeli President Convicted Of Double Rape  [ 30 December 2010 ]

JERUSALEM (JTA) -- Former Israeli president Moshe Katsav has been found guilty of rape and sexual assault, more than four years after he was first accused........... Katsav, 65, was convicted of raping and sexually assaulting A., a former employee of the Tourism Ministry. He was also convicted of sexually harassing H. and of sexually abusing and harassing L., both employees of the President's Residence, and of obstruction of justice. The incidents occurred when Katsav was serving as Israel's president and tourism minister.............

The trial lasted for one year. Two years ago, Katsav declined what was seen as a lenient plea bargain � one that dropped the rape charges and likely would have left him with a suspended sentence � saying that he wanted to clear his name in court. Most of the trial was held behind closed doors to protect the accusers........ "This is a sad day for the State of Israel and its residents," Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement after the verdict. He added: "Today, the court conveyed two clear-cut messages � that all are equal before the law and that every woman has exclusive rights to her body."

That is what Sharon, Jew, mass murderer and thief did when he was prime minister. Notice that Netanyahu is making noises about justice for all. He does not mention that the current Attorney General kept him out prison.
PS This suggests that there is more justice in Israel when we have 600 MPs walking the streets rather than inside.

 

Israeli President Is A Crooked Liar And Rapist [ 31 December 2010 ]
QUOTE
Former President Moshe Katsav's defense was riddled with lies, according to a court ruling by the judges of the Tel Aviv District Court  on Thursday, who found Katsav guilty of rape and sexual abuse. Katsav was convicted of raping and sexually assaulting A., a former employee at the Tourism Ministry. He was also convicted of sexually harassing H. from the President's Residence, of sexually abusing and harassing L. from the President's Residence and of obstruction of justice. According to the court verdict, the judges found that Katsav used edited tapes, partial transcripts, unrealistic datebooks, unfounded statements, and prepared testimonies as part of his court defense. The judges also found that his testimony was "riddled with lies" and that all along, Katsav  "excelled in manipulation and withholding information." 
UNQUOTE
Politicians are liars. Jews are liars. Jews go into politics because they are liars. To be fair, Katsav is a clever liar.

 

Israeli President Looking At 16 Years Inside [ 31 December 2010 ]
QUOTE
The prosecution is likely to ask merely for a "severe" sentence that would reflect the rape verdict against former President Moshe Katsav Thursday, legal experts said.  Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein will decide on the punishment the prosecution will seek for Katsav, convicted of two counts of rape and other offenses.

Most observers said the prosecution would not ask for a specific number of years; the maximum punishment for rape is 16 years. The attorney general will also consider circumstances that could call for leniency, including the period of time since the offenses and the fact that Katsav has already paid a high personal price........

Apart from the criminal process, Katsav is expected to face a number of civil lawsuits. Daniel Sror, who represents A. from the Tourism Ministry, the complainant whom Katsav raped on two separate occasions, told reporters yesterday his client was considering filing a damages suit........

Attorney Yair Golan, who in the past represented another former minister accused of sex crimes, Yitzhak Mordechai, said the court would probably take into account Katsav's decades of public service. But he noted that the higher Katsav's office when the crimes were committed, the greater the gap between him and his victims.

Israeli  President Was A Bully As Well As A Liar And Rapist [ 16 January 2011 ]
QUOTE
Full transcripts of former president Moshe Katsav's rape trial were released Sunday, painting a picture of a man who manipulated the women who worked under him and the court that ultimately convicted him. "The testimony of the accused was found, time after time, to be a false testimony, as it explicitly conflicted with objective testimonies that put forward a different version," the judges said.

The judges defined Katsav as "a sophisticated and manipulative man that did not explicitly lie, but instead scattered about as if there were few signs.".............

Describing being raped by Katsav, Aleph said: "I was constantly struggling and said that I didn't want [it], 'stop,' in short words and not in screams, stop enough, I'm not interested, I don't want [it]." The painful testimony continued, "I tried to resist, also with my body."....... At the end of last year, Katsav was convicted of rape, sexual harassment, committing an indecent act while using force, harassing a witness and obstruction of justice.

They did not do him for perjury which is a bit odd. But being manipulative, cunning etc. translate into Jew, the big time sort of Jew who runs the President of America and sends its army to war.

 

Israeli President Used A Convicted Criminal Who Harassed Witnesses To His Rapes [ 12 July 2011 ]
QUOTE
One of the private investigators suspected of harassing witnesses on behalf of former President Moshe Katsav, has a history of ethical misconduct, according documents obtained by Haaretz on Monday. The suspect, a 49-year-old retired commander who was released two days ago to house arrest, has been brought to court over multiple cases of fraud and embezzlement, and has even served prison time for his criminal misconduct. He has implicated prominent businessmen and politicians in his various and sundry nefarious dealings.

The suspect served as an officer in an intelligence unit in the IDF, after which he joined an elite criminal investigation unit in the police. He was expelled from the police in 1991 when he was caught selling five VCR�s illegally........

The suspect was arrested after the Mayor of Kiryat Yam, Shmuel Siso, reported him to the police for blackmail. He used forged documents, including court statements, medical assessments and bank records to con 120 thousand NIS from his victims. In 1999 the suspect was sent to prison for 40 months after reaching a plea bargain to reduce his sentence. He has since been involved in other illicit activities and in March last year was brought in for using a bugging device, intending to blackmail a Carmiel rabbi.
UNQUOTE
This comedian is a career criminal. Why did Katsav use him? Because he was a career criminal. Birds of a feather flock together.
PS Katsav was convicted anyway. He go off with seven years.

 

Israeli President Trying To Beat Multiple Rape Raps And Seven Year Sentence - http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/state-prosecution-wants-katsav-rape-sentence-appeal-to-be-held-behind-closed-doors-1.375387  [ 27 July 2011 ]
QUOTE
The State Prosecution requested Tuesday that the Supreme Court hold Former President Moshe Katsav's rape sentence appeal behind closed doors. The prosecution submitted the unusual request in order to avoid harming the complainants' privacy and exposing evidence whose publication is banned, and in light of the fact that the previous debate was also carried out behind closed doors.

The former president's lawyers - Zion Amir, Avigdor Feldman, Avraham Lavie and Miki Hova - opposed the request and requested that the appeal be open to the public. They claim that the time has come to bring everything concerning this case "out of the dark."......

Katsav was sentenced in March to seven years in prison and two years probation for rape, indecent acts, sexual harassment and obstruction of justice, becoming the first former Israeli head of state to be sentenced to prison.
UNQUOTE
The easy way to stay out of prison is not to rape women in the first place. Buying them off is another. Failing to do so was where the Rutting chimpanzee Jew running the IMF came unstuck. Then there is going to court, paying lawyers megabucks, hoping the judges will remember the favours from last time. It is a mug's game.

Israeli President Will Go To Prison For Multiple Rape [ 10 November 2011 ]
QUOTE
Supreme Court judges on Katsav verdict: A deep sadness has descended upon Israel
Judges say Tel Aviv District Court's ruling last year was 'proper and prudent', adding that Katsav 'reviled, insulted, criticized and slandered' the complainants. The Supreme Court judges said Thursday that a deep sadness has come over Israel after they ruled to uphold former President Moshe Katsav's rape conviction and seven-year prison sentence.

"A deep sadness has descended upon the State of Israel that a man who was a cabinet minister, deputy prime minister, and the president of Israel committed such crimes," the Supreme Court judges said while reading their ruling on Katsav's appeal of his rape conviction.

Katsav got off lightly, just seven years when the maximum was sixteen. But then he is a Jew as well as crook, liar, bully etcetera.

QUOTE
Moshe Katsav convicted of raping a former female employee and of sexually harassing two other women
Former Israeli president Moshe Katsav today started a seven-year jail term for rape and defiantly accused the state of Israel of 'executing' an innocent man. Katsav, 66, was convicted last December of raping a former female employee when he was a Cabinet minister and of sexually harassing two other women when he was president from 2000 to 2007. The former president, who has repeatedly professed his innocence, remained free while he launched an appeal, but the Supreme Court upheld the conviction last month and ordered him to prison......

Prison officials say he will be placed in a special section of Maasiyahu reserved for observant Jews and share a cell with Shlomo Benizri, a former Cabinet minister convicted of accepting bribes.
UNQUOTE
The Daily Mail is going easy on him. See Rape Special for the squalid details. The judges said that the Israeli  President Was A Bully As Well As A Liar And Rapist. Benizri, the thief he will be sharing a cell with is a racist slaver who off with four years.

 

Israeli  President Still Trying To Get Away With Rape - http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/former-israel-president-katsav-requests-to-postpone-sentence-1.405686 [ 8 January 2012 ]
QUOTE
Former President Moshe Katsav submitted a request for a 60-day extension to Israel�s Supreme Court on Thursday to hold another discussion regarding his appeal of a seven-year prison sentence following his conviction of two counts of rape and other sexual offenses. Katsav decided to exhaust all legal possibilities in order to attempt and appeal the decision. The court rejected Katsav�s previous extension request in November, allowing him only to resubmit a request on January 8, 2012. The chances that the court will accept the request is very low. After Israel�s Supreme Court decided to reject Katsav's appeal, he became the first Israeli president in history to receive a prison sentence for any crime. He was convicted of raping a former female employee when he was a Cabinet minister, and sexually harassing two others when he was president between 2000 and 2007.
