Identified only by her first name, Sarah, the woman who has accused International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Khan of sexual assault, emphatically declared in an interview with CNN that she is not an Israeli agent.

The allegations surfaced around the time that Khan issued arrest warrants for top Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, providing a ready-made cover for the ICC to accuse Israel of attempting to discredit Khan. Fortunately for Israel, Khan proved perfectly capable of doing a fine job of discrediting himself.

A subsequent investigation found that Sarah’s allegations were credible. Her increasing anxiety about going on work-related travel with her boss led her colleagues to express concern about her mental well-being, which is when she confided in them about the repeated, escalating sexual assaults. Ultimately, the ordeal inflicted mental strain to the extent that she was put on a suicide watch.

A U.N. watchdog report found that “multiple credible witnesses dismissed the notion that she was a spy,” and one of her colleagues mocked the idea as “a load of bull.”

Sarah told CNN that she had to undergo extensive background checks for security clearance in order to work at her job. “If ever there was even a hint of suspicion that I was a state agent of any kind, I would have been dismissed,” she said.

The ICC will vote this month on whether to permanently remove Karim Khan from his role at the court, following his suspension while the investigation into his conduct was ongoing.
