A former United Nations worker will spend 15 years in prison for drugging and sexually assaulting over a dozen women from 2005 to 2018 in Egypt, Iraq and the U.S.
"Karim Elkorany perpetrated monstrous acts against multiple women over nearly two decades," U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement."At today’s proceeding, Elkorany was held accountable by the Court and also by his victims, a number of whom confronted him with powerful statements about the grievous harm he caused through his horrific conduct.

"Given that the United Nations does not have prosecutorial authority, we rely on the actions of Member States and we cooperate with them to ensure that United Nations personnel who engage in criminal conduct are held accountable, in particular with respect to criminal allegations relating to sexual exploitation and abuse," Dujarric said.
Dujarric added that the U.N. received reports from two women in December 2016 regarding Elkorany and placed him on administrative leave after an initial investigation. The United Nations alerted U.S. authorities to the alleged crimes in early 2017, Dujarric said.Andrew Mark Miller is a writer at Fox News.
