Thus Mazuz may decide not to charge Katsav for rape, but, according to the varying reliability of the testimonies, may choose to charge him with "illicit consensual intercourse." This clause does not necessarily involve the use of physical force.
The maximum penality for this offense is three years in prison. In Katsav's case, the law stipulates that a man who has intercourse with a woman aged 18 or more by abusing his authority in a work relationship, is liable to three years in prison.
The key word there is abusing.
Since the lady involved in one case has been reported to be quite sexually active, I was wondering whether a charge could be brought against her.
Is the one in 'authority' only the one who has the superior position (excuse the pun), or, if Israel is the liberated country in mores our secularists claim it is, perhaps Mazuz should be looking at another indictment sheet.
