DescriptionJERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli police questioned President Moshe Katsav on Wednesday over allegations he coerced a female employee into having sex with him, police said.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said Katsav was questioned at the president's Jerusalem residence for five hours. Police would resume the questioning on Thursday, he added.

"He was questioned under caution on suspicion of sexual harassment," Rosenfeld said.

The investigation came as Israel's attorney general indicted former Justice Minister Haim Ramon over charges he allegedly forced a kiss on a government employee, the attorney general's office said.
