The brother of embattled Israeli President Moshe Katsav is embroiled in his own sex scandal. Lior Katsav was questioned by police Tuesday on suspicion of molestation. The complaint was lodged by a female foreign worker who said Katsav touched her intimately, against her will, two years ago. He has denied wrongdoing. President Katsav was forced to step down temporarily after Israeli prosecutors said they would indict him for rape. He has insisted on his innocence.
