TEL AVIV, Israel — An Israeli court sentenced former Israeli President Moshe Katsav to seven years in prison on Tuesday for rape and other sexual offenses.

Katsav, convicted in December, has denied charges he twice raped an aide when he was tourism minister in 1998, and molested or sexually harassed two other women who worked for him during his 2000-2007 term as president.

He had faced up to 16 years in prison.

Intense public pressure forced him to resign two weeks before his term ended.

The case has made history in Israe

Two separate occasions? You would think after the first time the aide would find somewhere else to work.

I think that they're simply throwing the dogs a bone.

"Ooooooooooooh lookshe at ushe, we throwsh the dogsh a booon"

Shouldn't that be "Israeli ex-President"? Unless he suddenly stopped being an Israeli.

You're right. And she was probably wearing a revealing outfit as well.

So you and Marty would be willing to spend several hours of your day with somebody who had raped you? I just can't fathom that. Obviously most people don't quit jobs as readily as I do, but still...

I was joking. 

[Caliga]

Hmmm.... was it rape rape?  Somebody call rape rape expert Whoopi please and ask.

I hope you are trolling. Seriously. Rape in professional relationships does not need to involve physical coercion. And the reason why it doesn't is that the victim actually needs her job and as a result can be succesfully coerced/blackmailed into sex without violence (or threats of violence) being involved - so that explains why she doesn't quit her job immediately after being raped. I thought this is a pretty obvious and universally known fact - that's why I called you a retard - because this seems so blatantly obvious to me.

I expect he told the aide that he was an Arab
