Israeli President Moshe Katsav's son, Ariel, was accused Monday of sexual harassment. Israel Railways said that the younger Katsav, a senior member of its PR staff, was accused of verbally harassing a coworker. Katsav, whose father has been dogged by a sex scandal for months, denied the charges.

He said the coworker was disgruntled after he complained about her performance, and threatened to file a libel suit against her. President Katsav, whose term ends next year, has said he would suspend himself if he is indicted over allegations that include molesting and raping several female former employees.
