Israel's ex-President Moshe Katsav is to be indicted for alleged sexual offenses including rape and indecent acts. He will also be charged with obstruction of justice.

Justice officials say that the testimony of a woman, known only as employee "A" or Aleph is credible. They reached this conclusion in part because of testimonies of female employees who were told of the alleged assaults as they were said to have occurred.

A number of other women who worked under Katsav have also made accusations of sexual misconduct.

The first woman to accuse Katsav of rape, employee A, said that the former president turned her into a "sex slave". She has described Katsav as a "pervert and serial sex offender" who "terrorized my body and my soul".

The experience of going public with her accusation has made employee A highly skeptical of the system. She said "from my personal experience I am telling you: don't complain. Go to a psychologist, but don't go to the police. Especially if the attacker is a public figure."

The ongoing harassment she suffered got worse as she moved into more senior positions in the President's Residence.

She claims that from the beginning, Katsav made a point of making suggestive remarks about her appearance. She quotes him as saying "You're beautiful... you're sexy. I want to know you I'm interested in you. Your skirt is nice... your hair is nice, etc".

Employee A claims that after she received a promotion Katsav began exposing his genitals in her presence and asking her to touch him.

At a press conference employee A stated that the president repeatedly raped her. After the first incident she didn't come to work and this resulted in threatening calls from Katsav.

"He threatened to ruin my life," she said.
